We use Dell's at work. They're ugly and heavy but tough and reliable. From what I hear they're not too bad with bloatware but even if they are, a couple of hours of setting up should sort it out.
If it is just browsing and stuff and you want something simple then a chromebook might be worth a look, nice and simple and reliable. If they're doing much with photos though then it's probably not the solution.

6 years after starting this thread I'm back!
I need to buy a laptop for my mum. Just for internet, photos, iplayer and typing.
I'd like it to be a i3,i5,i7 running Windows 10 (ideally) with 4gb ram and any sort of hard drive really. Just want something solid that will do the above job without any bells/whistles. Around £300-400 price point.
I'm conisdering a Dell Inspiron 15 5000 http://www.dell.com/uk/p/inspiron-15-5558-laptop/pd?oc=cn55801&model_id=inspiron-15-5558-laptop
My limited knowledge of PCs bloated with big company spamware screams no but this does seem like a solid deal. Any other suggestions?
