72 year old man currently uses a samsung tablet. Has nerve damage and carpal tunnel in both hands. He's finding the tablet difficult and I think he would be better with a keyboard and something he could just put on his table. Uses the Internet to search for yachts designs, you tube and generally browsing. He doesn't play games but would want to download and print yacht plans.I want to encourage online banking and shopping. Please could anyone help to decide whether a chrome book or a lap tap would suit him.

Our kids use chrome books, we hate them, very prone to issues.

I recommend MacBook Neo for him
