![]() ![]() OTH: if the op spends large swaths of his day cruising the web, nothing is better than a PC browser, and a dedicated PC is the right choice, and in that previous posts regarding off lease, or senior subsidized units would play large. I suspect given the title of this thread, that we're looking at a ten foot interface and a lazyboy chair, but if we're talking close up with a dedicated computer chair and a mouse then the following arguments would hold sway. I'll give you the argument that email is one of those very important must have utilities, forget about the keyboard if you can just 'talk the message', or better still Skype it along. I can agree disk based media has had it's day (hence my comment on public libraries offering streaming). Throw in Google Assistance, audio books and all the video news add-ons and the browser becomes less important, but there are capable browsers designed for TV. HBO GO and many other video sites look fantastic on HDTV that I have the Mac mini attached to. I'll agree most Android media players suck for usability but the shield is running Android TV, a modified interface that is pretty easy to navigate. Have new Mac Mini, boosted the ram to 8gig. The diff between $379.99 and $159 amounts to $220, which isn't chicken feed for a pensioner. I also suspect that this senior may want to use the device to send email, not something you'd usually want to try to do on a media player.ĭifference between 7" and 10" for a senior is moot, reading glasses required (and it's doesn't get better). Furthermore, trying to read the news on a media player is a really bad idea. Here then are the most common ways to fix Netflix streaming problems on a Mac. As for DVDs, you can't play them on an iPad, but you can't play DVDs on media players either. Most media players are far less user friendly than an iPad for the activities described. The original post asks for Windows PC recommendations, so I gave that, but the big point of my post is that an iPad might be a good solution that a lot of seniors like. A 9.7" iPad (2018 model) with Apple A10 SoC and 32 GB is currently going for $379.99 at Best Buy. Who said anything about 7" tablets? For seniors, I'm talking about ~10" tablets actually. Pointing out a full blown system obviously you must think pensioners are loaded with all kinds of spare cash. Netflix has detailed what Apple Mac owners will need to watch 4K Ultra HD streams on their computers - and the requirements. He doesn't need a PC but a media player that offers most of the utilities like a rudimentary web browser and the occasional email a looks see on RedFlagDeals. Some iMacs with 5K screens won't be able to play Netflix 4K streams. The app enables powerful Touch Bar controls, Menu Bar control, and more. Content the o/p was talking about, is best viewed large and not on a 7" tablet with reading glasses. Clicker for Netflix is a new app for macOSthat aims to improve the experience of watching Netflix on your app. ![]()
