I'm happy with the Dell G5 I got then, and today I navigated Dell's byzantine pricing to a box for $1274 with an i7 10700F processor (on a par with the i9 9900 I got last year), 16GB, RTX 2060 Super GPU, and a 1TB M.2 SSD. It's overkill for her needs but would keep her going for a long time to come, and easily expandable for more memory and a HDD or hybrid drive.
That's a lot of computer, but it doesn't compare to my Chromebook with 4GB RAM, 32GB storage, and running a dual-core Celeron N3060 clocked at 1.6GHz. I bet you're feeling jealous right about now
