I'm going to buy my mom an iPad for her birthday. She doesn't own a computer and it's 2016. She's not very tech savvy. Figured an iPad would be perfect for her to learn something new and use the internet. She's 50 so there's no excuse for not knowing how to use an iPad after I teach her.
What are some good apps to get for her that'll help with daily tasks? She's an elementary school teacher if that matters at all.
Safari
Messages
Calendar
Notes
These apps should be more than enough for her.
Why not get her a proper laptop or desktop? If she's a teacher, she should already know how to use Windows, at least to a limited extent.
Did the same thing, immensely regret it. Just get her a 128GB surface 3. iPads are more prone to glitching and freezing that iPhones for some reason and when they browse web pages they always say how "weird" it looks.

Windows 10 is far more easier for seniors to learn and lets them do things beside play angry birds. My mom quickly learned how to use the stylus and loves it way more than using a mouse.

She's actually a daycare worker but I was wondering about good education apps she could teach the kids she watches over at their after school program
Anyway the best programs for her surface 3 PC Tablet would be
Media: MPC-HC
Browser: Chrome
Word Processor: Microsoft Office 2013
Youtube downloader: 4K Download
Chrome apps for everything else.

She can get those from Steam or Chrome, no need for a shitty ipad she will become frustrated with 24/7.

Mine wasn't especially when she was web browsing. ipads are good for toddlers at best not for adults.

>surface poo
Sorry pajeet

She wants a tablet though, I think a surface pro would suit her better than an android tablet anyway. Most old folk love downloading youtube videos/music for some reason so having 128GB of internal storage helps which most android tablets don't. They also dislike the gimped mobile web versions of web pages missing a fuck load of useful features.

I would really recommend the samsung chromebook pro that just got leaked yesterday. Chrome OS is even easier to use then ios or windows and it comes with desktop chrome and google play support.
But since it's getting released by the end of the month or next month it will probably come out way too late for your mom's birthday.

So this is just a windows surface pro 3 for toddlers? You do realize chrome OS is a gimped version of Android somehow worse than iOS right?
>>57094957
Nothing is worse than iOS.

You realize it's literally gentoo, right? With a DE and a non user-facing package manager?
