Curious why this might not be a good deal for an 80+ mother in law for basic web browsing and email?
Key Requirements include: 16GB RAM, 512 SSD, Touch Screen and Backlit Keyboard.

2 Year Warranty seems like a nice insurance bonus as well!

Should be fine. I bought the same model from Staples a few weeks ago. No problems or issues. You might want to save a few bucks (~$50-$100) and get the 512GB version. Walmart has it for $449, I think.
Here it its:

* If you want to save yourself maintenance headaches and all you need is a browsing machine, a Chromebook might be a better fit. I've bought my dad a couple over the years. Something like the Asus CX34 maybe. Not sure what the market and pricing is like these days, though.

Thanks for the quick input, I did edit my note to require touchscreen and backlit keyboard too. I saw Walmart one, but it seems lacking touchscreen?

Yeah, no touchscreen. Backlit was a must for me but touchscreen, meh. I have Chromebooks with touchscreens and never use it.
