If you can't afford a Mac and aren't using it for work then a $299 HP or Dell laptop is fine. Bought an HP Windows laptop for my kid two years ago and and it still does everything he needs.

I OTOH use mine at least 8 hours a day. It's a 4 year old MacBook Pro and was a bit more costly. I carry it everywhere and it's outlasted every other computer I ever owned. The Dells I'd use when I ran Windows would go maybe 15 months before dying on me. This is still fine - it won't get replaced until one ships with 32GB of ram.
