$350 Toshiba from Best Buy. Had it for 2 years, fantastic machine. Beat the snot out of it. Cheap, works great. Paid $9.95 and got the entire MS Office professional suite to boot.
Wife has an Apple work computer. I have no idea how it works and where the websites I opened went off too or where a file went or how to find a file or shrink the window or exactly how you open a second screen. But for $2,000 I guess it's okay.
