Ditto what Betty said. I very recently bought a MacBook Pro and had
the same experience. I had also ordered the 4GB RAM kit from datamem
and installed it in a snap.
She will love the machine. My first Mac was a dual USB iBook some 7
years ago and we still use that machine everyday at work. At some
point a few years ago we added a G5 iMac for the kids. We're happy
campers.

I just bought a MacBook; took it out of the box last night. A Mac
[not MAC] has a setup program that runs when you first turn it on
after taking it out of the box--my MacBook was fully charged w/3-4
hrs of power--just plug in the iMac. I set the location; it
automatically set the time. I have an iTunes account. I typed my
login and password, and the program filled out my name, address,
and other info for me. When I finished the basic setup, including
creating two accounts [one for me and one for testing] and got to
the Finder desktop, I launched Safari. The Mac had already found
our wifi network by itself, and I was on the Internet to download
Firefox and Thunderbird, plus a few other utilities like StuffIt,
FinderPop, and Yasu.
From the time I opened the box to getting on the Internet to read
my email and listen to a web stream, it was less than 10 minutes.
My husband took a week to get his Compaq online, and he still can't
get it to play web streams with any sound!
Your wife will love her Mac. It's so easy to set up and use.
