I'd be concerned that the resolution on the MacBook would be hard for your mom to read, but the MicroCenter deal ($799 AR) on the white model is very attractive.

Was going to steer my own mom that way when she indicated an interest in a new laptop (even though I think the 20" iMac is a much better fit.)
Looks like the $100 rebate is no longer available on prev generation mini (which had made it $399 AR at MicroCenter).
