Chrome it all

Revive your crappy old laptop with ChomeOS Flex.
*Let's face it, ChromeOS is super easy to use, people already know how to use that web browser, and the laptops that ship with it are inexpensive, in the $200-$400 range. For your typical end-user, it does the job -- for people who don't need Microsoft 365 and Windows or a Mac, are okay with Google Workspace, and primarily use web-based apps. That's probably 90% of the user population, right there.
They don't want to worry about patches or being a systems admin; they just want their darned websites to work. They want them to be responsive; they want to be able to watch their videos, do their video calls, access their documents and data, and social networks.
And ChromeOS is secure. Very secure -- it isn't vulnerable to many exploits plaguing legacy Windows and Mac systems.*
I dunno. I'm planning on getting Mrs. George a new laptop early next year - her current MacBook air is 10 years old. I may just Chrome it instead of selling it for my own use when she gets the new one.
