Your mom might need a laptop upgrade, and if they do (and they’re used to Apple’s ecosystem), they should really look first at the MacBook Air with M3. It’s light, pretty, capable, and in its most powerful form yet. The only real complaints we’ve had with the latest iteration were that it was simply too damn close to the version with M2 and that it costs too much when you start slapping on upgrades like more RAM and more storage. Considering all that, you can also go for the M2 version, which Apple still sells for slightly less.
