Keep using it until it no longer serves her needs. Then buy a MacBook Air (evidently not a power user).
Also, what 2012 pc laptop would still be usable in 2023?
If anything, Apple computers are known for long term support. 11 years is a crazy long lifespan for technology.

Before that I was using my 2011 thinkpad x220. Those 2012 MBPs have twice the cores and a usable screen.
Never met anybody that uses a laptop while they crap. Might have to give it a go.

My T60 ThinkPad still works..
