Is there something comparable with Windows, as basic Internet and email will be it's only uses?
If all she's doing is innertubes and email, she'll never even know it's Ubuntu.
Once you open Firefox- which is preinstalled- it all looks the same.
The used Dell's from Microcenter are a good idea but it's still cheaper if building from scratch to use Newegg.
Look on Craigslist...I've seen some pretty good deals on there if you know what you're looking at.
