Buy her a laptop or even a tablet or a 2-in-1.

Idk she has alzheimers and is pretty out there sometimes.. some days she thinks the nursing home or w/e is a campus and shes at school.

Shes said like 20 times she wants a computer though so we are going to give it a shot...

We mainly thought desktop because she use to have a windows 98/2000 back in the day they bought new.. So figured she might remember some things about desktops.

Thanks for the help though :)
