I am raising support for people w/ Young Onset PD to attend the 7th World #Parkinson Congress. 100% of donations go to the #YOPD Travel Grants program to get YOPDers to #WPC2026 in Phoenix, AZ in May 2026. @worldpdcongress.bsky.social

Totally personal question here...

If you were to buy a laptop for your 80-year-old mom, who isn't super comfy using tech, and basically wants to (1)type letters (2)Buy things online/ surf (3)Talk to people using zoom etc

Hypothetically, what computer would you suggest?
