  • This is also a great suggestion. Last year I got the then-new iPad Air with the M1 chip in it (Gen 5 I believe), and after getting a Logitech keyboard case it has completely replaced my laptop for work. I’m in sales so I don’t need it to do anything intensive, all I ask of it is to simultaneously run QuickBooks and Slack and a couple other apps I use to do my job, as well as hotspot to my work phone, and it does all of that really well. Recent updates to the iPad OS have made that transition way easier, and I can even set it up a base station if I need to by connecting my Bluetooth mouse and keyboard and a second monitor and that also works pretty well in a pinch.

    All this to say, if your relative doesn’t need the computing power of a full computer and they already have an iPad, that could be an ideal direction to go in.




















  • A slightly easier way to think of this: leap years happen every 4 years, except that we skip one every 100 years (those that end in 00) unless it’s divisible by 400. So we had a leap year in 2000 because it’s divisible by 400, but 2100 will not be a leap year.
