Lots of people have talked about Mac above, so I'll be short. I was a die-hard PC girl, and when my last died after being eatin by software and OS crashes, I just jumped ship and bought a Macbook. I love it. It's simple to use. My compatibility issues have been minor, and software has been easy to...obtain.
However, many of my friends who are less tied to their computer are opting for the Netbook option. I've played with them, and I understand their choice. For ~$300, you get a an 8" laptop-like device that will do basic office and internet...which to be truthful is what the casual user does anyway. They are cheap, they are tiny and fit in a purse, and you don't feel like crying when they become obsolete because the initial investment wasn't that high to start with. I seriously considered getting one so I didn't have to carry my laptop around all the time, but I figured I was just to addicted.
Any, my 2c. Hope it helps,
NJ
