Initially my consideration was that she can use the web for its' many resources
but also she is a very visual person and a talented artist, she likes photos or
images. I wonder whether the larger screen of a laptop, plus the storage space
fro photos would become a point of preference.
She may even use the Apple publishing tools to produce a book of her work. This
kind of thing would be better done on a laptop I think, even for the larger
screen.
I know it will cost a bit more but if the smaller ipad prevents these things it
would be worth the extra.

Also a matter of purpose. I figure that a Mac is better if you tend towards
producing, an IOS device is fien if you tend more towards consuming. As an
example, I use my iPhone for podcast and audio book listening, youtube and
netflicks videos etc., and the occasional email. For producing documents
spreadsheets, longer emails etc. I go with my Mac. I admit that part of this is
not having an external keyboard for my Iphone, but my wife has an iPad with an
external keyboard and a Macbook, and she follows the same trends I do.
Just some thoughts.
