What's on the laptop has nothing to do with the quality. So, having Powerpoint & whatever
is up to you. You can always buy that SW separately & install in on the laptop.
What I would suggest is that you get her a "corporate" quality IBM/Tobisha...Those tend to be more robust. That is what you want in a laptop. Don't get a tablet type;not worth it.
