Intended use will vary this answer greatly, so can't say much. Laptop, desktop, tablet (some run Windows), ...budget? I'd guess portable since most people get those these days. Basic use, hard to beat a Chromebook. Many of the same benefits of switching to a Mac (minimum maintenance, few virus issues, pretty much idiot proof), long battery life, some have comparable/just as good as screens, and MUCH cheaper generally. They are a bit limited but cover what I'd guess "most" people do.

For me, I get a new desktop every few years, generally 5 or so. I buy parts and assemble it. I install Linux, done. Been many years since I've had a hardware failure, or crash that lost data (even crash or freeze of any kind, years). Neighbors, I suggest Dell, not "great", support "stinks" if you need it (but they generally go through me so I'm used to dealing with them, I know what's wrong, what I need when I call to try to get them to send warranty parts/arrange fixing, out of warranty, no reason to deal with Dell and just get what they need). But, value wise, fair. Outlet is a good place to buy, same as new warranty, they have coupons occasionally. Some of their new systems are moving away from standard parts again, so annoying to fix out of warranty. Their power supplies for instance.

Laptop, Dell is ok, Toshiba was ok but they are quitting the business. Lenovo can be "fair", as can Asus. Support for warranty stuff from any of them is not good. Apple does have the best there, but, the laptop hardware is IDENTICAL to regular computers, same companies make the stuff that's inside them. They are solid though, if you don't mind paying the premium for them.
