Anything modern will do, from i5/i7 4th gen to today. The bigger question is: how is the cooling and chassis build quality? That's what you should look into. Newer CPUs are all super overkill for casual use, but can get pushed harder when playing back 4k content on a 4k TV or recording or streaming at such resolution via OBS and what not. Then there's gaming, which is a very normie thing these days, too. If she won't do that, then you just need to find deals, double check reviews on how well the machine cools under load, and if the build quality is good or not (no hinges that break easily after a while, or motherboards that tend to fry themselves often, screens that die easily, etc.)
