I am thinking of getting a new PC for my Mom because her notebooks battery broke and she refuses to get a new one

all she does on her Computer is Facebook, Emails and Vacation pictures and maybe print something

Should i get a Notebook or a desktop PC?
i want to buy a Notebook but i am not sure how good it is for the Battery to go unused for a longer period of times with no Electricity becuse my mom always pulls out the plug out of stingyness

i dont really want to give money to microsoft either but intel sabotages any attemt to install linux

Used Intel Macbook air, she'll love it. You can put Linux on it.

Maybe a thinkpad or an ideapad, you can open it up to (more cheaply) add ram/put an NVME and I think you can buy replacement battery directly from Lenovo.

Had it as PSP Go wallpaper.

She will appreciate good single core performance. That's what you should prioritize, that's literally it, that's what you get her. Good 1 core.

WinBLOWS users can recommend settings. I would think set it up where your mom is NOT an administrator. idk if all updates can install successfully in that case, but imo you could remote into it, though it's not something I personally have ever done - it's presumably not hard.

imo not a laptop, since he said pc. Sounds like she sits at a desk.

Lenovo Thinkpad P16 Gen 2
+Raptor Lake (or higher)
+RTX 3500+ 12GB (for AI)
+128GB-192GB RAM
+8TB nvme
+skip the 4K screen (no pressing need)

Install Qubes OS on it, set it up to whatever hardening level you desire, set up some kicksecure templates for disposable qubes to host mullvadbrowser (it's like torbrowser), get other qubes configured as desired (including AI), and have your mom enjoy a system which never breaks and will never be hacked into.

Remember Syncthing, which everyone should be using instead of stinky cloud!

Just get her an iPad/Tablet along with a wireless keypad case that auto connects on contact

It's over 20 years old now. The artist is Tasaka Shinnosuke, and his art style has noticeably changed throughout his career. This is definitely early '00's.

Lenovo ThinkCentre M900 SFF Computer PC, Intel Quad Core i5-6500 up to 3.6GHZ, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 256GB Solid State Drive

Less than $150 and it's probably all any boomer mom would ever need. Just offer to come over and clear her cache and delete all of her temp files once a month so it doesn't get bogged down.

Holy shit, never noticed that he is cyocyo. He does some amazing doujins.
