what is the best laptop I can get for my mum for less than ~250 $? Should I go for a Thinkpad or look for a second hand Macbook? Remember this is for "mum use" so I'm not interested in a lot of space or good graphics cards.

in terms of OS, what would be best? not counting windows 10 as an option, maybe Mint with xfce?

Thinkpad and install Linux so she can't fuck it up.
(Don't give her root privileges)

Any Ubuntu distro should be fine for her. Xubuntu and Lubuntu are both just fast and easy.
