Oh I totally recommend Chromebooks, they almost entirely eliminate the tech support burden from having a parent/grandparent who doesn't get computers. It was the dude above me who crapped on them.

So buy Chromebooks from other oems?

Chromium is about 99.5% open source, there's no real problem with the OS itself. If you're afraid of Google tracking just use the machine with the guest account.
