Nowadays, I use two rules to measure value on older Macs.
1) Can I do the same or MORE with the $419 refurb Mac Mini
2) Can I do the same or MORE with the sub$200 Dell Mini 9.
It's hard to beat both of those pricepoints to run OS X.
I had no idea you could put 220GB of disk space in the Mini9. Or hook up a DVI monitor. Also, for under $200 you won't be running OS X on a Dell Mini. So you also won't be able to run any OS X applications. Seems to me that the QS can do a LOT more than a mini. Unless all she wants to do is surf the web in Ubuntu.
