I guess it depends on what she'd be planning on doing later in her education.
Unless it's some kind of creative area then realistically the vast majority of people use Windows and that's what most software runs on. Various other areas in terms of software development, etc will use Linux (which will run on most Macs or PCs).
It's unlikely that any choice will really make a difference unless she's doing something very specific, buy whatever you/she prefers.
A decent laptop will last plenty of time regardless of whether it's Apple. I'm running a Lenovo X220 that's about 6 or 7 years old and a Chromebook that's four years old and they are both fine.

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.
