My first reaction was "Get this person a Raspberry Pi stat!", but that might not help them much if they don't have access to a monitor. What I imagine would work better for them is a small light laptop with a couple USB ports for good compatibility with inexpensive peripherals, a long-lasting replaceable battery of an affordable and common type, and no requirement that the computer be connected to the internet to be useful (f*ck off and die, Chromebook). I've had Asus and Lenovo laptops that fit this bill pretty well, and the Lenovo was even close to being cheap enough to be practical (~$150) (the Asus was more like $250, but it was also a 1080p 14" with a 9+-hour battery). Of the stuff I can easily find available online right now, a Kano would fit the bill pretty well (you can find them on sale for also ~$150), as would the low end Lenovo IdeaPads. I like those a bit better than the Kano as they have a sturdier build and include a webcam ...Found the newer version of that Asus - this baby is a beaut - https://www.microcenter.com/product/633069/asus-l410ma-ps04-... |
