Looking for suggestions for a Laptop for my mom

Hello;

I'm looking for suggestions for a laptop for my mom.

She is completely and utterly techno-ILliterate. She will be using it for surfing, reading mail and downloading pictures from her camera. She will also be using it to feed ebooks to her ipod (since it still requires a PC to move data onto it)

99% of laptops will come with Windows 8 (which I myself do not use). So I am contemplating suggesting a touch screen laptop. I've heard Win8 works well for touch enabled devices so I'm hoping that might help her transition...

I'm not up on the mobile tech and specs so I'm not sure which processors are decently powered and how the battery life stacks on up models. (once a few laptops are suggested I can search for the reviews)

Any thoughts and suggestions? I'm also contemplating trying to get one with an SSD as there are less moving parts to break...
