Can't see why you'd pay significantly more for an Apple if that's all you're using it for

+1. You only need to get into the deep end of the laptop pool if you're actually using it on the road a lot. Most people are just looking for a portable desktop - a basic workstation that can be moved to whichever room they've settled in. For that, any old HP, Compaq, Asus or the like will do. I've got a cheap Best Buy Asus model for around the house, an iPad for casual use outside (the commute, coffee shops, etc) and a Thinkpad if I need to do serious work away from the home and office.
