My mom wants to buy a laptop. She's not technically sound and will just be using it to download viruses, look up recipes, and respond to emails from Nigerian princes. I am planning on getting her this one:

Any other recommendations?

Wouldn't an iPad suffice? And that way it's less likely to slow down due to viruses.

She wants something with a physical, traditional keyboard.

As much as I love my chomebook, there is a learning curve and the workarounds become an issue for the non tech savy. I hate hate hate apple products, but an ipad with keyboard cover is pretty slick.

Used Lenovo on eBay. T440 series or better and swap in an SSD. They are sturdy with a nice to use keyboard.

Second choice would be buying a Dell off of Dell outlet. But you really have to hunt the sales to find ones in the $300 range.

Where are you located? If you're set on ChromeOS I'm looking to sell a mint condition Dell 13" Chromebook. It was going to be a linux/hackintosh project but never found the time.

Model 7310, Intel Celeron 3215U (dual core 1.7GHz, 2M cache, 15W), 4GB RAM, 16GB SSD which can be replaced, 13.3" 1920x1080 IPS, non-touch matte screen, wireless AC, Bluetooth 4.0, warranty has lapsed.

$140 in Houston. If interested my email is handle at gmail.

She may mis-read tsp vs Tbs while looking at recipes on that 13" screen and screw up the meal.

15.6 is about right
