What's your Grandparents using for a computer?

[WinNut]

A Toshiba Satellite with a touchscreen.

He only reads Chinese, so there's so much weird shit (like a virus that won't let you type) that I'm scared to use it.

[Tacitus]

iMac and Macbooks; my step grandfather used to own a printing business and for graphic design type shit they used Apple stuff evidently. He's very tech savvy, especially so for someone in his 70s. Knows more about this shit than me!

[Keudn]

Dads side - Desktop with i5-2500 and 8GB RAM (custom built by a local computer repair store) + macbook pro

Moms side - Desktop with i3 and 8GB of RAM (custom built by me)

[LamboLaddy]

I slapped together a 7850K with some MSI mATX board, with 8 gigs of super easy to forget nothing special ram, with a 2TB drive in my old Carbide 300R. PSU is a CX450.

[Shevids1996]

NUC

[Sammael]

android tablet

 

I bought my grandmother an android tablet and chromecast, she's on the internet almost as much as I am now, probably more since she does not work.  She never learned how to use a computer but she uses that voice search on android all the time and flicks videos on youtube and netflix and hbo go to the chromecast/tv.

 

 

82 years old, but still lucent and sharp for her age.  But she IS related to me so that stands to reason.  I've seen other grandparents that are out of it, I hope I take after her more than those others as I grow older, I don't want to lose my mind.

integrated nvidia???

Sorry about the confusion.  What I meant to say is that this is just a low quality graphics integrated with the motherboard, not the processor.

[Darkman]

My grandfather uses a custom built pc. He still plays games like doom, farcry, wolfenstein, etc.

 

Intel core i5 3570k 

gigabyte motherboard of some sort

gigabyte geforce gtx 660ti

nzxt phantom case 

samsung 850 pro

I wish my grandparents did this stuff.

 

My grandma just runs a Dell AIO with integrated intel graphics and has the lowest end 3rd gen i3 that outperformed my old i5 650 I had.

[Wheatly]

IMac 2014

[Applepienation]

My grandfather used a Macbook Air and Ipad Mini. I don't remember what my grandmother used, I think it was some older ASUS laptop. I have it sitting on my desk at home but l don't know it offhand.

[Jerakl]

Like 2 iMacs and one old emachines PC with a P4 and GT 520.

[Horrorfull]

Optiplex with windows XP

[Dredgy]

Grandmother an iPad. Grandfather a laptop, but he got a new one with Win8 and don't think he can use it very well.

[MoDtEc]

grandmother1: some ultrabook i dont remember the manufacturer and the specs of with a dockingstation and a 24" screen, shes still working quite a lot for her age tough (its aaaaaall abot da money) 

grandfather 2: dunno theyre divorced and hes on the other side of the country but last time i was there it was a core2 with some crappy 500 gig hdd and stuff

grandmother2 + grandfather2: crappy crowded slow never-working i3 thing and i am always called to fix it, even if im on vacation or who-cares-the-hell-were -sigh- old people.... 

 

edit:

Mother: laptop with ubuntu (really needs an ssd)

Father: i5 4460 + 8 gigs of ram + gtx 460 

he plays ww2 flight simulators, ARMA and stuff

sadly he doesnt let me build and upgrade his pc so it has a shitty case and not-so-great cooling

[KemoKa]

heaven knows that if I knew I would tell you so that we could all have a good laugh about it.

But no, wait, it turns out that I do in fact know what they use.

My grandma uses an iPad 2 for general stuff like Pinterest and Facebook. Even used it to order pizza once, I think, or that could have been my dad.

My grandpa is a farmer rancher luddite who spends most of his time either sleeping or around cows. The most advanced technology he has ever touched was the automatic gear lever on a 1972 Chevrolet Cheyenne. Yeah.

I have never lived within a radius of 3000 miles of my dad's extended family. I live so far away from my grandparents that I hardly ever see them. It's nice when I do see them, it's just not an environment I could handle for more than a couple of weeks at a time. Idaho is not the techiest of places (despite having Micron founded there. MICRON, of all places!!!)

 

[Geekazoid]

Well my grandparents are no longer here, so...

[MountainDrew]

Some ancient Pentium 3 system with 512mbs of ram.

 

They are also getting each other a Kindle tablet for Christmas 

[marat569]

Some dell laptop that even with 2 premium anti malware/internet security/anti virus programs running 24/7 they manage to get infected in no time just browsing the web. (Yes adblocker is there)

 

Damn Russian websites and malwarebytes pro/avg pro not picking up your crap!

[KayTees]

Actually built a mid end PC at my grandparents house for me to use when I go over. My grandma likes to use it to listen to some of that chinese opera stuff on my harman kardon soundsticks . 

 

Specs on it:

i3-4130

Asus R9 270 OC II

[lani100]

Some kind of custom made senior computer with some kind of modded linux that is slow as hell my pentium 3 is even faster.

[Dragoneye3769]

Dell Optiplex something. My granddad doesn't use it but my grandma pirates movies(Yarr!), i taught her how to use piratebay and utorrent

[EpicAdom]

Sorry about the confusion.  What I meant to say is that this is just a low quality graphics integrated with the motherboard, not the processor.

Gotcha

[.spider.]

Cheap Archos tablet, but rarely used.

[XVariety]

Dell all in one and a hp laptop
