    Mostly yes but there’s one other option that simplifies the whole thing: Chromebooks. They’re actually pretty decent for someone who doesn’t need much beyond a browser, a mail client, and a basic office suite.

    Sure, they’re tied to Google with all that entails but they can be a real option for someone like a senior who relies on relatives for tech support.

      I agree. Chromebooks are a viable choice for those who want a web terminal. I used one for about a year. Got the job done.
