What is the best laptop computer for someone 50+?

I am looking to buy a laptop for my mom, who is 58. She is familar with computers but not tech-savvy at all. Up until 2 years ago she worked on a Mac at her job. She doesn’t need/want anything fancy, nor something that costs an arm and a leg. I was thinking that someone who either was older and had recently bought a laptop or someone who was more knowledgable than I am.

I don’t want an Acer, Everex, EMachine or a Dell. AMD processors are alright, but I would prefer Intel.

Thanks.

    You might want to consider a Toshiba Satellite A105 S2236 Laptop PC – Intel Celeron M 520 1.6GHz, 802.11b/g Wireless, 512MB DDR2, 80GB HDD, Dual Layer DVD RW, 15.4" WXGA, Windows Vista Home Basic. Your mom no doubt will probably use it for surfing the web, bill paying, word processor type activities. This may or may not be what you are looking for.
