There's an automatic assumption with purchasing computers that the cost is a reflection of the quality. While cost can be an indicator of features, it does not necessarily mean you've made a bad decision just because you decided to look into discount computers. In fact, many of the features on the most expensive laptops you won't even need. You're better off saving that money for programs and anti-virus software.
When searching for moderately priced computers, you'll have to decide between mobile laptops, laptops, and desktops. More than likely when looking at store prices you will notice that desktops cost a lot less than their portable counterparts. Consider your budget, how much can be put towards the actual computer, how much will have to go into warranty, customer service, extra programs, like Microsoft Office products, anti-viral software, and computer printers. All of these necessities need to be thought out before the purchase. Desktops are a smart choice for families, especially those with small children. Desktops are stationary so they're good for the study or living room. They are also much sturdier and heavy, so the kids won't be able to knock them over quite as easily.
Of course, if you plan on needing more mobility with your computing then a laptop is more up your alley. Laptops, and more specifically netbooks and mobile laptops are great for travelers and business people on the go. You can bring them to and from work because they will fit nicely into messenger bags and backpacks. For this reason they might be a tad more expensive than the desktop but still in a decent price range. Once you've decided what kind of discount computer you're going to buy, then it's time to see where you're cutting corners. The major shifts in price are going to be between brand, amount of memory, amount of RAM, graphics and sound cards, size, screen quality and make/model. You can save your money if you're not too stuck on the things that can be adjusted later.
As a starter you'll want a computer with decent battery life and memory. There's no need to go overboard with memory, but a decent amount is good until you buy an external or additional internal hard drive to expand it. Same goes for the graphics and sound cards. You can buy those later if at some point you want to have them installed for better quality. If you can, aim for a slightly older model because they'll be cheaper than the newest available. You can always upgrade later. Computers are flexible machines.
