Second device for elderly partially sighted sister

[RichardPNZ]

I have been asked to find a second device mainly for zoom.  Within a budget.

 We have a roster to go and help her at the meetings.

 

things to consider

She has difficulty seeing black keyboards but ok with silver,

It has to be easy to use

Touch screen laptops are beyond her budget

Using chromecast with Zoom is not good.

 

After much research and thinking about it was looking at a second hand older model Surface pro. It can be connected via cable to her tv. Not many android tablets be connected now.

Shouid be easy to use  either via touch screen or Cortana.

 

Can anyone see any issues with this plan that I may not of thought of as I have not used a surface pro

My oldest daughter uses a Surface Pro and has been quite happy with it. She has no problems connecting to the meeting with Zoom - even using a virtual background.

I don't know about "many" but I know my Samsung devices can easily be connected to the HDMI of a TV however the TV has to support MHL.

I bought this tablet for a sister in her late 80's. She likes it a lot.

I've not tried it, but it may be able to be connected with HDMI with this, which works with my android phones.
