My mom said she thought of a laptop, and of course I want to find her one, but she insists that it has to be a pc because she plays freecell and the other games. Is this all available in os x?
Have a look around the AppStore. My mom plays a number of solitaire type card games. She found an interesting puzzle game too! Often those types of games ate either free or relatively cheap. 99c to $10 max.
I'll have to try them out and compare them to the pc version. We're talking a senior extremely set and wants exactly what she's been playing. Exactly. I wondered if anyone else has been able to deal with this er, challenge.
GT, I'm on the fence... of recommending you find her a cheap windows PC or even an ultrabook. Some people just can't handle change (at least not without a *huge* amount of support)...
yah, I'm there too. She's pretty feisty on this, and I may not have a choice. My plan is to show up with my ipad, preloaded with her favorite games, pretested and compared to my windows installs, and any sites she loves bookmarked, set right up, and put it in her hand and let her play with it on her own for a while. If she loves it, I go home without it
GT, y'know, you may have inadvertently come up with the right answer.... it's unclear from your first post if she already HAS a computer (a desktop?) and is looking for a laptop....
How about keeping the desktop (if she has one) and just getting her an iPad?
she has a desktop, and seems fiercely attached to windows, but games is her reason. So yeah I'm trying for the ipad. Because I know I'll end up cleaning it and reinstalling multiple times if we get her a windows laptop.
the only thing worse than cleaning and reinstalling windows is doing it on a windows laptop.
