Unless you really need a Mac, I'd go with the above. Much better machine for almost the same price. You can the same specs from other manufacturers for even less, but Minisforum is a well known brand in the mini PC scene.

Edit: As another user kindly pointed out, the Minisforum PC I listed above is just $506 with coupon now. absolutely insane deal for so much power in such a small package.

This is for consumers, and it does a great job for consumers. If your wife is using your devices for work or beyond normal academia purposes, such a product like this is not meant for your wife.
Not knowing what your wife does for a living/pleasure, I can only comment with this: a large percentage of users have zero issues with this base model. It is however, a BASE model. Powerful, but still a base. Just like you shouldn't skimp on good socks if you're an outdoors person, you shouldn't skimp on a good device if it's your job and livelihood to work on it. You feel me?
I had an Amazon GC and already have a monitor, so at that price, this was a really great purchase for my needs.
I've had soo many tabs open on my m1 mba I didn't know which tab was what after a while.

Screen - let's just say it's worth $122 which is too cheap.
You get similar spec computer (I know M2 is faster than M1 ~18%) but shouldn't matter. M2 Air price is still too high compared to M2 Mac Mini $499 to make it worth so I'm using M1 Air as comparison.
And you can CARRY the laptop out of the house.
If you need ports, one of those usb-c ports replicator is just $30.
I find an Air infinitely more useful than just a base Mac Mini especially when you consider the costs of the add-ons you need to run a Mac Mini (unless you already have the peripherals or want to use say PC keyboards or other mouse).
