I have an elderly neighbour who currently uses an Acer Aspire Switch which cannot be upgraded to Win 11

 

She has asked me what I recommend as a replacement with Win 11, so I am seeking advice. I don't want to recommend something that turns out to be a lemon.

 

Budget wise around the $1000 mark, maybe a fraction more

 

Doesn't want a desktop as she does take it out and about

 

Usage is not heavy - emails / word / photos

 

I was thinking 16GB ram and 512 GB storage

Thanks

Recently got my mum this and it seems to do the job nicely.

Anything I say is the ramblings of an ill informed, opinionated so-and-so, and not representative of any of my past, present or future employers, and is also probably best disregarded.
