Go with the lower model Mac. My mom uses one too. First thing I taught her (because I don't use Macs) was how to use a browser, go onto youtube and type in what she wants to do and follow the video.
With your mother's supposed usage habits, I doubt she can tell the difference in performance. I know my mom can't. I'm not slagging my mother. I'm merely saying she is far more patient than I. Most of us probably get angry we're losing seconds to minutes of the day due to performance differences of electronics. My mother has all the time in the world.
Hours on facebook? Read like 4 posts. Couldn't figure out how to do something? Waiting hours for me to get home to figure it out for her. Wouldn't turn on? Went to make tea and do something productive instead (stepped on the power bar and power turned off).
Oh mom...
