iPad. I am basically a windows and linux guy, but I have an iPad as an e-reader and use it as a mobile web browser as well. This is stupid light and there are a variety of good cases with keyboards built in. With the touch screen, I don't miss the mouse or touch pad.

I moved my wife off of her PC to an iPad about 8 months ago and she has never looked bag. She is using a iPad Air 2 — about 3 years old, I think.

You can find lots of deals on iPads right now — especially slightly older models, which will still work fine for what your wife needs for many years to come.

Same here. I've used Windows since the DOS days and my wife teaches Microsoft Certification but we both use iPad Air 2s for portable surfing. It's a great little tablet.
