Computer Lab

Overwhelmed by the choices of a new computer? We'll help you simplify so you can decide!

This informational session addresses some of the most common questions surrounding how to choose a new computer: Where to start? What’s a reliable brand? How much should you budget? What technical specifications? We will also cover operating systems and compare alternatives to the traditional computer, e.g. tablets and Chromebooks.

This Senior Planet from AARP class is being offered through the Senior Planet licensing program.

All programs are subject to change.
