Offtopic - Apple Macs

My mum, bless her soul, has decided to get a computer. Her friend teaches other oldies about Apple Macs. So in spite of my initial OS objections (who can win an argument against their mother?) thats what she is gonna get.
I know zip about Macs but maybe some of you do. She will use it for dialup internet, email, photography and, I suspect, screaming at. Oh, and it has to look nice. I guess I will be obliged to vet and recommend.

Any sites that can tell me whats hot and whats not? Tried google but dont know enough about Macs to refine the search to a manageable number of sites.
Any blessings/advice/cautions?

Thanks
