Laptop for my Mum?

    My sister and I want to get a laptop for my Mum for Christmas and need some help choosing one. She'll primarily be using it to browse the web and office work etc.

    I'm looking for something thin, light, stylish (ie. no greys or blacks). I don't want it to crash on her so was thinking 4 GB of Ram and an i3 processor. Is that too much for her daily needs? She doesn't need a good graphics card or anything. Also, it has to be pretty cheap too and have the usual bells and whistles ie wifi, usb, DVD drive etc.

    Any suggestions?
