What will she be using it for? Internet and email?

I would suggest a chromebook or netbook for that and for the budget your looking at. If you are in the US your local walmart or bestbuy will have those in stock.

For a such usage a chromebook is more preferable than those junk windows laptops, almost every walmart have one in store as SansVanic said.

You have another solution is to get one of those used Thinkpad (Generally 2nd/3rd gen i5), they would perfectly suit for a such usage.
