I'm going to Hot Springs Friday and thought my mom or uncle might could use it.

4GB of RAM is skimpy for any recent OS.
For the basics, with a SSD, its actually fine.

For Comparison

Thank you very much. That looks lots better. I'll look over his whole inventory this weekend. I know one will be great for my mom. She needs a Mac instead of an iPad so she can scan and print things.
They routinely have good deals. I've seen nicely price 2011-12 macbook airs every few weeks.

Keep in mind an 2011 iMac can't run Mojave (unless you use the hack tool).

I need to replace my mom's old Mac mini which can't go beyond 10.6.8. I was thinking a newer (but still old) mini, but at this price point the iMac is a viable alternative.

Read the description well. One I looked at randomly said it had scratches on the screen and case.
