I normally never would recommend an iPad as a primary device, but it seems like it would work for you since you already have a laptop if you need to use it. You'll obviously have to put your itunes library on the laptop, but you could keep it in an external harddrive.
And I'm eh about Kingston's apple TV comment. Cordless is a nice feature, but most of the apps on the apple tv you can watch on your ipad anyway.
If she has iTunes Match she won't need to put her library on the hard drive. It's really nice. My new laptop has a smaller SSD and instead of trying to keep my library on it I just stream through iTunes and they manage it for me. As well match lets me add cheer music and the synced to all my devices. Sooo handy.
A for the Apple TV there are apps that individually only stream to the iPad. As you can't do apps yet on it, if you wanna watch a full episode of ABC shows streaming you can beam it right to your computer. For the Olympics I did Apple TV mirroring of all the gymnastics. It even did the sound as well with full HD. You couldn't tell it wasn't on cable. If they figure out how to do college and pro football in an app well I'm canceling cable.
