Making computer recommendations is tough because everybody has different needs. If you are just using it for internet access and want something cheap, a $250 netbook will do just fine. You can run office programs on it, but it won't have enough number crunching for much else. If you are going to use it "instead" of a desktop PC, you'll want something with at least 4 processors, 4 GB of RAM, and Windows 7. Personally, I've always been a fan of the AMD chips. More bang for your buck.
I think tablets are probably a good two years away from being a "real" replacement for a laptop. If you are thinking of going the tablet route eventually, you might want to get a cheap laptop to hold you over.
If I was buying one, I'd probably use Amazon for comparison shopping.
