My wife uses an Asus W8.1 tablet (with some atom-i-dont-remember-whatsoever-cpu) and she is quite happy with it.

I made it pretty clear from the start I will be not maintaining/administring it for her because Windows is poison for my soul and I would die if I touched the thing. She has managed quite well with it herself.

My list on what an user really should get is:
- smartphone; The Jolla device
- tablet: The Jolla tablet
- laptop: a secondhand Lenovo T60 (or X60s if you want a smaller one)

Anything else is waste of your money and bad for your health.

Dude, I get where you're coming from but the point was from an average consumers point of view.

Lenovo T60... sure Windows7 is not too sucky, but this thing is aged bro. And not aged like wine, but like milk. Better to settle for something from 2012 (Ivy Bridge) and up. Upgrading of 2 years (and up) can ensure you upgrade at the major release, ie the tick of the "tick tock cycle".

Jolla Tablet is vaporware as far as the average consumer is conserned.

Jolla phone is small, slow, hard to get, difficult support, little third party interested as far as the average consumer is concerned. Its a very small niche. Blackberrys, Symbian, webOS, FirefoxOS, Ubuntu Phone.... all niche.

In fact, its hard to even recommend a Windows Phone 8.1 device.
