My Mom Needs a New Computer…

So my mom’s computer is on its last leg and I told her to start thinking about a new one.  I think she would be fine with a desktop, which is what she has now, but she is considering a student laptop since there are so many great deals on them now.  Well actually the good deals will start in a month or so when they start pushing laptops for college bound kids.  Now don’t get me wrong, I love my laptop and couldn’t live without it but I just can’t see my mom using a laptop full time.    She struggles using mine because of the size of the screen and keyboard and she is terrible at using the track pad so she’d need a mouse.   I also don’t see my mom carrying the laptop anywhere with her other than maybe to another room in the house.

She was considering more of a business laptop since she mainly uses the computer to run her eBay business, but she doesn’t need anything fancy.  She basically uses the Internet and Word, and that’s it!  While she is computer shopping I also suggested a new printer, not a laser printer or anything fancy, but maybe a regular inkjet 3-in-1 printers.  Actually she may even be able to get one free with a laptop purchase since I have seen that special in the past.  Whatever she decides I hope she asks me and doesn’t rely on some store associate to steer her in the right direction, since my husband is a computer guy and knows what she really needs!
