I'd stear clear from HP... decent prices I guess but I had a laptop from them which gave me lots of problems and they have sub-par tech support. After that I got a XPS, the price was a little higher, but I've had zero major problems with it and I still use it a decent amount of time.
XPS might be too much for what you want though, it's really a gaming PC. For basic needs and price the Compaq Presario V5000Z might be better. The Sony VAIO is something else to maybe look at.
