I'd buy her the Samsung Chromebook 3 that Best Buy sells. Simpler machine, easier to set up and use, really solid case, water resistant keyboard in cash she spills her tea, and Chrome has a nifty super simple screen magnification tool that is PERFECT for older folks. I own one, and also own the Lenovo 110S, like both, but the Chromebook is better suited to kids and oldsters.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This would be a good choice. It's a very nicely designed piece of equipment. The keyboard is more than ample and it visually appealing. I think she'll get a kick out of showing of her proficiency that she develops her skills on this machine

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I got this for my 88 year old father. I have one myself for my bedroom. I thought about a Chromebook too, but reconsidered after thinking it through, reasoning that he's already used to using Windows and I thought he might not take to even slightly different commands/interface.
