Not sure if you remember this from my previous post (#3) "What I find makes it much more comfortable for daily use is attaching a full size keyboard and mouse; but then also having the option to disconnect them and take the laptop itself along (with a travel size mouse to use in place of the trackpad)."
I have my laptop sitting where a desktop monitor would and fullsize keyboard & mouse attached with the keyboard on a slide out keyboard drawer that is part of my desk. I prefer the height for all these things with this setup better than using the laptop keyboard.
I am not sure how her current keyboard and mouse connect but I am using an adapter (think it was from Walmart) to connect both an old keyboard and mouse to one USB port. I have had both a wireless and wired mouse over the years and prefer the wired as I found the wireless easier to knock off onto the floor.
