Computer for a senior who is also a technophobe [View all]

anyone use one of those computers that is sup'd to be particularly for seniors?
a friend of mine who is 60 and never used a computer, and is a technophobe, got himself a touch-screen laptop with W. 8 installed.

I am trying to convince him to turn it back for one with W. 7 installed.
Then I remembered seeing these 'senior computers' advertised in magazines, and thot maybe that would be the best for him.

If I can convince him to give up the bells and whistles of his laptop.

thanks for any feedback.
