Thanks all
Having looked at the Apple site again, an iMac may be a better choice as she doesn't really need the portability.
3.0GHz 6-core 8th-generation Intel Core i5 processor
Turbo Boost up to 4.1GHz
8GB 2666MHz DDR4 memory, configurable up to 32GB
256GB SSD storageš
Radeon Pro 560X with 4GB of GDDR5 memory
Two Thunderbolt 3 ports
Retina 4K 4096x2304 P3 display
Thats more powerful than the laptop version and has a bigger screen but the size of the ssd is massively disappointing though!
