Quick background. My mom was injured in a car accident last week and is bedridden for probably a few months. I'm thinking of getting her a netbook so she can use it for email/web/Skype.
I'm thinking the quickest and easiest thing to to is pick one up that already has Win7. Get rid of McAfee if it's burdened with that and throw on something decent like Avast.
I use a HP 110 netbook with Ubuntu and am very happy with it so getting a cheap netbook and installing Ubuntu/Mint/Chrom OS is another option but a bit more upfront work.
Anyone use Win7 on a netbook and can I drop this into the hands of my zero-tech mom?
