    It wouldn't though. They just work. For years. With no intervention needed.

    His internet connection doesn't keep breaking, it has this time, but there's always something. He is over 70 and doesn't understand how computers work. PC's are a pain to maintain even if you know what you're doing, he has no idea.

    So have all my PCs... which begs the question: what the hell are they doing to them to break them?

    Get him a Chromebook if he keeps breaking shit. Or a tablet. Let us know how long it takes before it's no longer connecting to the web. Then we can work out the support costs of PC vs. chrometabbook
