PP was referring to the home computing needs, not work. geek squad is only for consumers more or less.

very true, my kids and wife dont really email enough to need a keyboard, just message or app messages, banking and watching videos and shopping all done on phone or MAYBE tablet. Cloud stores all the photos and documents. You can do your taxes on the phone, which is probably the most complicated “home” task majority of people do.

Still, most “important computer-related stuff” people have to deal with at home is work-related, at least from what I've seen.

I know some older people who don't work with computers at all and just have mobile phones but they don't do anything important on them and instead continue doing those things by phone and dead tree mail for the most part.
