At any rate, my mom would like a relatively inexpensive notebook/laptop for Christmas. She's not really into the touchscreen stuff, really just something that has the traditional keyboard, touchpad and screen. Literally, she only needs it for web-browsing, email, and watching movies.

Do you any of you have any solid recommendations for something like that?
Chromebook. Won't bloat. Won't get viruses. Once she gets into the google ecosystem (with a google account, gmail, drive, chome login, etc..) then everything will work more seamlessly than anything else she could use.

Only problem: if she doesn't have internet and isn't streaming her movies (if she wants to watch DVDs in a DVD drive), then you may have issues with the Chromebook.
