Computers for Seniors

No, not me

My MIL expressed an interest in getting a laptop/tablet when she was over last week. She is in her 80's with early dementia issues.

So I started a search this week and was a bit surprised at the amount of gear and software out there for seniors. Probably shouldn't have been:

https://birdsonglife.com/

https://www.grandpad.net/

https://silveractivities.com/silverpad/

Does anyone here have and practical experience in this area? She can afford whatever she wants but my concern is that if we go specialized and she doesn't take to it, then we have device that no one will use.

I have been thinking about Surface Laptop and getting elder friendly software or loading the "safe version". My wife loves her Surface and would have an extra should the MIL not stay interested.

Any advice is appreciated.
