Someone finally asked the right question!! You cannot make recommendations without knowing what the user wants to do with it. For example: Is it just for email, browsing, paying bills, making purchases? Or are they editing pictures, videos, music, playing intense games? Then, like tomwed said, the budget question.

Feel free to post your needs and we can help advise you.
