Comment on Ask HN: Which Chromebook to buy for parents?

Comments

Any particular reason you've ruled out an iPad Pro?

Yes, they cannot hold a tablet for more than a minute, or so. They also need a normal physical keyboard to be able to type without too many mistakes.

Moreover, my father did not like the iPad because it was difficult for him to navigate between multiple browser tabs, particularly with one or more of them having Docs sessions!

I would say the price is the biggest factor here. Stylus is not necessary but to make it work/feel like computer, you definitely need a smart keyboard. Now all this in total is way more expensive than almost any Chromebook on the market.
