I am aged 76 years, reasonable health and vision.I do not know how a 92 yr old would behave.
As for me, think a PC would be preferable for the following reasons.
A 92 year old person would be weak and may not be able to hold tablet steadily and chances are that it may fall and injure him and also break.At all times he has to hold it on hand and would be tiresome. A pc would sit tight on a table and would require a chair, which would hold the person steadily. He could use both the hands and may also do some simple exercises while reading and operating the PC.He can sit straight or recline as his mood He can increase or decrease the fonts and at the same time read the contents fully.and could also engage with his relatives in the house. He need not concentrate on any one activity.
I think by all standards a PC would be suitable.
