>"Depending on the age of her son it's a reasonable question to ask." //
This sort of phrase is not about her son at all. The statement is supposed to acquire the users agreement, as if the point is a truism, by demonstrating that even someone relatively naive to the field in question would be able to clearly see that the point is true - in this case that the laptop being used is antiquated.
2013 laptops aren't antiquated; no amount of "any fool can see" couching of that suggestion is going to convince me of that. It's just a badly judged piece of hyperbole by the writer.
Edit: here's a mediocre Dell from 2012, http://www.amazon.com/Dell-Inspiron-i15R-1633sLV-15-6-Inch-L... - could anyone who has ever seen a laptop before really be confused that it's a laptop?
