As others have noted, the 13" MacBook Pro is probably the best option if she's not doing any heavy lifting. Depending on just how true "price is no concern" is, then there's either the regular Pro, or the Retina model with the swank display. My only advice here is that if you go for the regular model, get the solid state drive if it's at all affordable; it makes an absolute world of difference and really should be stock for that laptop.
Meanwhile if you need bigger and/or more powerful, then there is the 15" MacBook Pro, which has the same range of options. Your friend doesn't sound like she's the kind of person that would specifically want or benefit from a MacBook Air (smaller, lighter, less powerful), so while that's always an option the Pro sounds like it's a better fit.

Because it's extremely well designed hardware coupled with a nice OS that the OEM doesn't crap up with trialware and stupid utilities. It's a luxury item to be sure, but it's how laptops should be built.As an aside, WHY do so many of my female friends with an extra dollah with which to hollah flock to Apple so determinedly?
