This is what her old one was like from 2007

Dell Inspiron 1520

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T5250 (2MB cache/1.5GHz/667Mhz FSB), Genuine Windows Vista™ Home Premium Edition       Inspiron 1520 Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T5250 (2MB cache/1.5GHz/667Mhz FSB) System Color Midnight Blue Color with Microsatin Finish   Memory 2GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz, 2 Dimm   Monitor 15.4 inch Wide Screen XGA Display with TrueLife ™   Video Card IntelJ Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 Hard Drive 80G 5400RPM SATA HDD

 

 

As long as it's an upgrade from this I think most anything would suit her. She literally does emails, her language program, and browses online for shoes etc. lol

Well besides the Operating System that seems like a good computer for those uses in 2007

Is it a sit at home laptop or will she be taking it around with her?

I'd look at Lenovo right now. They have some killer sales until the 12th.
