Will your sister be able to receive Wi-Fi constantly? If so, I highly highly recommend Chromebook. However, those ones on flipkart are so overpriced that you can save more by using international shipping from Amazon...which is what I recommend.

Chromebook will be an awesome choice, if there's constant Wi-Fi (or at least most of the time), if the user is alright without installing a lot of Windows software. I'll get into the advantage if you think she qualifies from all of the above.
