Firstly thanks to the Mod for moving this to the correct discussion, and to everybody for their comments so far.
First thought is a big no to a Chromebook. The intended recipient of the gift knows Windows and the brief I received is not to frighten the horses. My daughter had a Chromebook and it was pretty useless, and like CC above I have a paranoia about Google/big tech and their ability to track everything you do.
I like the idea of one of the types of laptops that, as it were, folds back on itself to give more of a tablet experience. The main use fo the kit is likely for armchair net browsing and this could work well. Price up to a certain limit is not the main driver. Of course functionality is important, hence Windows, but a pleasant and easy user experience is valued as well. I like the idea of the Lenovo kit and will certainly look closer at that.
Of course, speaking as an Apple user, a Macbook Air or iPad Pro, even if slightly out of budget, is the ideal solution but that would be a step too far for the person concerned.
