This sounds like a great setup. Never heard of PineTab before - is the CPU powerful enough for live video encoding?

May be a little too underpowered actually.

There was a recent forum thread with users claiming the Pinebook Pro is somewhat usable with Jitsi Meet; and the Pinebook Pro has a more powerful CPU in it than the Pinebook which has the same chip as the Pinetab.

Maybe going with a refurbished Surface or similar would be a better option; talking to an elderly relative is an use case that hardly calls for open hardware.
