Seems like they had a 2019 MBP which would be suitable.
Anything you get will be better than the 2013 she's giving back. Only issue with getting a newer model is having to buy adaptors/cables for usb-c, which will make it a bit of a faff to get everything connected to begin with. If you can get one of the M1 Air's I'd go for it.
Edit: Seems hoxton mac's have one for £730

I unfortunately don't know much about Macs, but my wife needs to get a replacement laptop because she's given notice at her job and had been using the work 2013 MBP for her own projects, and has only ever bought Apple laptops. She needs it for some video editing and probably live streaming for private classes she's running, which she's previously done with a capture card, a mirrorless camera and a wireless mic. She's looking to get refurbished but is willing to spend up to around £700 if she thinks she'll get a good few years out of it. Will she be OK with a slightly newer (than 2013) MBP or is it worth a little extra for e.g. an M1 Air? Are the butterfly keyboards really as awful as Reddit claims they are?
