So my question is $300 win11 home laptop or a $300 Chromebook for someone in their 80's (not me)

You can check how long OS updates will be available any chromebook model here:
https://support.google.
Choose the manufacturer from a list then search in page (ctrl-f) for the model name/number.
This model will receive updates through June 2031.

This is likely to extend the usability of ChromeOS devices indefinitely since the browser is where most of the action is and where the majority of security threats are. Devices with support ending around 2025 (like mine) may be able to hop aboard the LaCrOS train and ride it until they break.
My battery health is down to 52% so I might end up replacing it by then anyway, hoping for some better deals by then.
If they announce something and it's a "nice to have" then cool. But if it's a "must have" then purchasing that item or service is taking a huge gamble. I think this holds true for a lot of companies, but I put Google near the top of the list.

This particular model is a brand new release. There are some solid reviews about it:

Ryzen CPU is better than the Celerons and Mediatek ones I've seen in chromebooks at $300 price level
Slightly taller 16:10 Aspect ratio is something I prefer
8 GB memory is better than 4 GB
Also DDR5 is better than the DDR4, if I'm not mistaken
Comes with SSD as a opposed to eMMC
All these considered, seemed like a good deal at this price point. Also helped that I had a gift card.

And if you do want to save a few extra $$$ by going for non-new, it's a great idea. I also picked up an Open Box Excellent for $240+tax from my local BB and it was been outstanding so far.
