I would like to be able to get my Grandpa a Nexus 9. This is because this Christmas we're getting him internet access and we obviously want to get him something to use that internet with, so this would be perfect along with a Chromecast which we would get him. He is 83 and not tech-savvy, but he learnt how to use his *awful* Humax TV recorder so I think this would be great for him, especially since he can check the news, weather and watch catch-up TV.
