My sister wants a laptop but as she does not know much about computers a friend at university is choosing it for her.

She plans on using it for internet including playing video clips and typing up essays.

She doesn't play games, has little interest in DVDs or graphics programmes, video editing and such like.

The laptop he has chosen is the Acer TravelMate 2702LCi

Do you think this would be suitable for her requirements?

In my opinion, no. The above mentioned unit is too powerful for her needs and she would only be wasting valuable money on it.

Go with this one from the same reseller:
