My grandad, in his 80's, has become very interested in getting a laptop (they don't have much space in their bungalow for a desktop). He likes the idea of iPlayer, he loves watching bus videos on Youtube, and he liked using webcams to talk to people. But he's kind of overwhelmed by technology and worried it will all go wrong. He lives 200 miles away so we can't just pop round and reset everything.

I am an activity coordinator at a care home in Dorset. We have 3 of these computers and I have one of the laptops.I find them very easy to use.Most of our residents are 80+ .The tutorials are great for an initial introduction and they are much easier to explain than a conventional computer. We have residents using skype and e-mail,as well as browsing the web.The large keyboard is much easier for those with arthritis or sight problems. I would thoroughly recommend them.
