Ok, I expect the usual challenges about machine spec and celeron, however as a basic laptop I think this is good value

Well, you can't get away from the weak-as-water Celeron 1.1 processor.
Everything else looks fine.
If all you're doing is being on the net, its OK
It'll do the job for most.

While totally true, the Celeron N3350 in this laptop is most likely going to stay in the higher boost band, probably in the 2.0 - 2.4GHz range a lot of the time, though that's not too likely to make it significantly quicker than the base clock of 1.1GHz but it should help a bit.

I want a laptop just for syncing my iPhone for music using I tunes. I intend to delete and start again ripping again at alac. Is this machine good enough?

Good description, that
Yes it can be boosted theorertically to 2.4 but I can't see that being much of a plus.
but.....personally, while NEW Celerons are far better than the old ones, I'd still prefer something more capable. Theres plenty of recent dual core fit that role at Pentium surely without going into i3 ?

Read a lot of reviews and its an ok type of laptop at entry level but the most off putting comments are the slow speed when browsing so its put me off

Depends on the bandwidth your ISP allocates to you. The computer is more than capable but if that's all you want to do with it a cheap android tablet, tv box or Chromebook will do it just as well for much less. Your phone can probably do both already and cast to your TV, but again that depends on your network speed. Even a Raspberry Pi can run Kodi and stream all sorts of media so the days of computers that would struggle to do the same are behind us.
