Simple computer to browse web for parents.

this is much more easier for old folks, just point and click (airmouse is cheap too) if they are able to use their Android phones, no problem adapting to Android box basically everything is the same.

For just $150 bucks, no need to invest in another monitor or spend on a PC unit powerful enough to run Windows. You can't teach seniors Windows but you can teach them Android (I've done it)

Take note the type of Android box you buy though, some China made ones will come with their own Interface and can can quite confusing. You should be getting those with vanilla Android Google interface (comes with Google Playstore) which can see all apps at a glance. I recommend the MiniX NEO (my mum uses one) and you can drop by their SLS shopfront for a demo to try out before ordering on Lazada/Shopee.

Awesome! Thank you. I'll need to ask her if she would want something like this as she is currently using those all in one PC but its getting pretty bad recently so a windows is fine. This would be great as she is always in the living room as well so we can plug it in there.

Some ppl like familiarity, just get those intel nucs and a cheap dell $150 monitor.

Very much this! Tablet and the android box seems ideal, just afraid my mum would not be able to get used to it and end up needing to buy PC after.

As for monitor, where do you get a $150 dell monitor from? I saw that Xiaomi has the 1A for $178 and 1C for $189. What would your recommendations be?
