I think they are one of Apple's best designs. My love my Pismo 500. I installed a larger, faster hard drive, added 512 megs of RAM. I use a Belkin 802.11g (Broadcom based chip) wireless PMCIA card. Currently, I am running 10.3.9.
There might have been a few issues with the Pismo but nothing like the iBooks (all white). Some people have had the power adapter port loosen. I think that is a case of being careful while plugging and unplugging the power cord.
The performance is adequate for your wife's needs. I use mine for wireless surfing, web site work and light Photoshop use.
