New Laptop for Mom? Suggestions - $400-$500 budget

Mom needs a new laptop. Just something simple! You know the drill.

Doesn't need to be the fastest. I'm think about a 15 inch with windows pre-loaded.

Got any suggestions on deals?

Does she want to learn Windows 8 or would it be easier a laptop with Windows 7?

Hello,
This is not a suggestion on deals, just my 2 cents.
I was in your position about two years ago - looking for a new PC for the Mom in the house.
You already noted your budget. However, would you consider increasing what you will pay to purchase a 17 inch laptop?
The larger screen size would allow her to set the font and accessibility features to fit how she would use the laptop - if required.
I ended up purchasing a Refurb 17 inch HP Laptop from FS. I saved a few bucks and it still works like a charm.
