I have a Lenovo and love it. MH got it for me for Christmas almost 4 years ago and it still works great.
Lenovo has a ton of options and (IMO) much more reasonable prices than some other brands out there. I can't remember what model I have, but I'll try to remember to look when I go home for lunch.
It's a Lenovo IdeaPad Y570. It does support some gaming so it may be more powerful than you're looking for, but I love it. Something in the same line but not as powerful could be worth looking into.
I love, love, love my macbook pro*. I have had macs for years, though, and get frustrated when I try to use PCs. I got a refurbished one and it's been great. If you can get a deal, I highly recommend it.
That said, I've heard great things about lenovo, and was considering going that way after my last mac died. My husband has a chromebook that was relatively cheap, and does everything he needs. If you're truly just going to be surfing the web on it, I'd suggest taking a look. There are several different ones out there and some good comparison sites.
Good luck!
*I can't really explain it, as I hate iPhones, and don't have any other Apple products (Android all around).
I like my iPhone enough. It's logically set up for my head. But their computers are just smoke, mirrors, and fuckery to me.
We hated our iPhones and made the switch to Samsung. Mine is a year old this month and I have to take out the battery at least once a day to restart it. I feel like you just can't win with phones. I sometimes wish I could go back to by good old Nokia brick, but we will probably be going back to iPhone when we switch providers. I have no problem with my Galaxy Tablet though.

I had a Nexus 4 for a while and it was just the worst. But I recently got a MotoX (based on the advice of several friends) and I am in love.
