If you can go higher (~900 GBP) get her a macbook air. superb laptop, small, light, fast and most importantly no constraints (flash support, full sized keyboard).
If you can't go higher and she doesn't mind lack of flash and slower typing, go with the iPad. Like others have said, it is not a substitute for a laptop, it's a nice complimentary device/gadget for leisure on- and offline activities (reading books/rss feeds/surfing websites, shopping, games, light emailing)
