    Buy an iPad, just remember it won't completely replace a regular computer so she'll still use yours now and then.

    It isn't in the cheap category but worth looking at a surface or surface pro.

    That's all most people say they use the internet for, reality is often different. I hardly use my iPad since I got an iMac, and before I got that I still used my laptop for iTunes, photo management and downloading etc. Different strokes I suppose!

    The apple stuff is dumbed down too much. Completely lacking the advanced configuration available in the other OS's. Have set enough of them up to know I do not want one. For email, searches, ... pretty much anything worthwhile you really need a proper keyboard, even my phone has one.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    Jobs was clever allright. He convinced a huge chunk of the population to own something essentially the same as everyone elses, when people were busy trying to be individuals.
