No, seriously! My 91 year old aunt has returned from a visit to my 81 year old aunt highly impressed by the fact that you can play games on a Windows7 laptop - solitaire, etc.

She's not technical at all, but now wants to get a tablet so that she can sit in bed and night and rattle off a few rounds of Solitaire, Freecell, etc. She has no interest on going online, e-mailing, etc.

She thinks a laptop would be too heavy so wants a tablet. One of her buddies (92) at the lunch club has one and loves it.

I've been tasked with getting her one...so, what kind? Argos do a Bush one which runs Windows 8.1 and Tesco have the Hudl 2 which is Android 4.4.

Which would a non-technical (but mentally all there) elderly lady find easiest to use?
