Well, it depends a lot on your budget also. If you are not worried about graphics, You can buy a basic one woth about 2 GB ram and 100gb Harddisk. I use my laptop for same purpose as your sis is going to.. I like Dell laptops, I love their after sales service. However, i myself has a Toshiba

I personally would get something like this:
Newegg.com - MSI GX630-028US NoteBook AMD Athlon X2 QL-62(2.00GHz) 15.4" Wide XGA 4GB Memory 250GB HDD DVD Super Multi NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT - Laptops / Notebooks
or
Newegg.com - ASUS X59SR-A1 NoteBook Intel Core 2 Duo T5800(2.00GHz) 15.4" Wide XGA 4GB Memory 250GB HDD 5400rpm DVD Super Multi ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 - Laptops / Notebooks
a little cheaper, but just as good for someone who isn't going to use all the bells and whistles, and doesn't need all the horsepower behind it.
I might even suggest the Dell Vostro... Nice price and 3 year warranty to go with it and she can have XP Pro put on it... she can upgrade as she wants or leave it and still have a decent notebook. Keeping it as is, but upgrading the NIC and the 3 year accident coverage is 1k... worth it to me, since I have the XPS M1710 and take it every where...
