Like many seniors, I have a limited space for computers. Of course, the least space solution is simply to use a smartphone for everything.
Still, it is nice to have a big screen somewhere.
I have a 24” LG combo smart TV/computer display connected through an HDMI switch to a PC, a Chromebook, a Roku, and a Kindle 6” tablet .
That way I can get to everything from one chair.
The Kindle can also be used portably as a phone with Skype or other app where there is Wi-Fi. (The Kindle 6 has the essential special adapter to send out HDMI to the display. Selected other Kindles have other ways of connecting.)
I also have a keyboard switch to share one keyboard with PC and Chromebook, plus a wireless keyboard/touchpad for the TV itself. The LG TV has the needed multiple inputs.
One HP Chromebook compatible printer serves everything.
One HP Chromebook compatible printer serves everything.
Thus, I can do everything from one small space.
I do use tablets separately in an armchair. These take no space at all, so that you can have more than one to access all the capabilities. For most seniors, I recommend an iPad and also a Kindle Fire.
