Replacing LG Chromebase

My mum’s LG Chromebase has stopped getting updates, she’s had it for a while and loves it cause it’s so easy to use. The monitor is 21” so she can see it easily. Sadly no manufacturer makes a All In One Chrome computer any more but just chromebooks. Can anyone suggest a computer for her ? She only uses it for emails, browsing the internet and clothes shopping.

It no longer gets updates, so security won’t be up to date.0

I think you might be looking at Windows if you want something 'out of the box' such as Sony HT-SF1500

The user manual show it has HDMI input port, I assume you can use it as monitor?
I would probably spend £150 - 200 to get a used desktop. You probably can get i5 6th gen PC on ebay

Alternatively, would you consider installing Linux on it?
