Would like help/info buying bike computer

Ok, some background info.
I'm 66, retired, overweight, and out of shape. Some other problems, but doesn't matter here, I don't think.
I'm just getting back on a bike for exercise and fun. I've always loved bike riding, but stopped due to some physical problems.
What I want to buy is a good computer I can install on my Verve 3. I'd like to see all the info I can, so I can compare, and watch, how I'm improving and doing riding.
I created an account also on Strava, and I have a Vivosmart HR.
My memory isn't very good, so would like something that will connect to my smartphone or laptop to upload info so I can keep track of how I'm doing.
I don't know all the terms/abbreviations I see, so don't really understand all I'm reading about the many different computers.
I've been interested in the Wahoo Elemnt Bolt and Garmin Edge 830, however, I don't really think I need a map since I'll just be riding the local areas here in southcentral Alaska. There are some hills in the area that aren't very long distance wise, but they are pretty steep. At least for this out of shape guy

Hope I've given enough info of what I'm wanting/looking for.
Thanks for any and all help.
