You can get them, have a look here. Never sure why you'd want one, especially given the fact you can get wireless keyboards and mice. The mini-DVI connector isn't that large, or obtrusive.

Any reason why you're steering her towards a laptop rather and an iMac?

Thanks Markus. They look quite smart.

She already has the Macbook! She used to work exclusively from home but she's just taken out a lease on an office and is kitting it out. She wants a big screen, but I think it's a waste of money to buy a whole PC just for that, and I also think she'll find it a hassle transferring files between the machines.

I really dont see the point in those, they look harder to 'plug in' than just putting an extra screen in the DVI port...
