Does it have to be windows? Google Docs does most of what people want. For a given budget I'd sooner have a Chromebook.

Does she open Chrome straight up and do everything in the browser?

Do you need a lot of local storage?

The main thing to look for is an SSD drive. It'll make the most of even a slow processor (which is likely all you require).

May be worth walking into a Currys / PC World or John Lewis and taking a look at what suits.

But the base spec machines in those places almost never includes an SSD.

Here's a 15.6" screen machine from Lenovo (decent brand) with a 128GB SSD for less than £250. I reckon this would meet your brief for about the price of a Chromebook.
