My Powerbook (6 weeks old!) is great in general, though the battery life isn't the greatest...I probably get 3 hours with the extended life battery settings, but that's with Airport on. I'm thinking using wireless takes a lot of juice. If she's used to Apple, I don't see why a notebook couldn't serve as the main machine.
Go for performance if you get a notebook...I went with a no-frills 15" 1.5GHz model. Now I'm not sure if I should have gone with a loaded 12" model for the same $. ($2k) Get one with a little more RAM and a faster processor. For $3k, you should be able to do well.
