Thanks all.
Cost isn’t the biggest concern but I imagine that she won’t be able to get full use out of an Apple laptop. I presume that it would be the laptop of choice later in her education?
All advice welcome.

I'd go Apple for sure... grab something refurbed.... all her current devices will sync and share accounts and info, plus Apple laptops (tend to, apart from the recent keyboard designs) last a long time.
My nephew got a cheap second hand 2009 white Macbook and its still running fine (once I replaced the HDD with an SSD).

So much this. I doubt a chrome book or a cheap pc is better / cheaper in the long run. My last three macbook pros has lasted me for 4 years each, and I use them daily for 8-12 hrs as a designer, so for someone just writing / browsing you can prob get 5-6 years out of them
