I'm probably the only 20 year old in the western world that can't answer this question, but what would a good cheap laptop be to go for? not needed for much just storing pictures mainly!

About as much as you are prepared to pay
My dad just quit pc's and bought an iPad so His 1 year old used a handful of times windows 8 is surplus to requirement.
Make me an offer, let me know if you want spec but I reiterate, it's 1 year approx old and a Sony windows 8 so storage City I would expect. It would of course be formatted back to factory and will come in the original box.

I will be replacing my laptop as the battery on mine has failed, the so called replacement battery's are pants so I am waiting for the release of Windows 10 in the summer before I replace it.
You may want to consider the same as any new one you buy will come with windows 8, which as an O/S is rubbish.
That said you could buy a refurbished one with windows 7 installed.
But to answer your main question, a laptop to browse the Internet and store photos, if you pay around the £300 mark you will get one to suit your needs.

For example, http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/laptops-n ... html#cat-0

One word of advice though, buy yourself a portable usb hard drive to keep a backup of your photos and any documents you create.

Here's a link to a fair one for what you want http://www.saverstore.com/product/20792 ... are-1-Year. If I needed a replacement I would probably go for this one. Good luck.
