My mother needs a new computer. Her ancient Pentium 2 laptop finally died yesterday. She uses this solely to surf the web, check her email and periodically print documents. The computer will need to have MS Word and a web browser on it... pretty much nothing else.
I can give her one of two computers:
- Dell P4 tower. 1.6/20GB/384MB. Don't know the rest of the specifics. XP Home.
- Apple G4 tower. 500mhz/60GB/384MB (I think). OS 10.3.9.
She's used to using a PC, but she could be willing to adapt to using a Mac. Which computer would be better for her in the long run? Which would be faster? More reliable? More stable?
I am not putting a penny into either computer.
