Best desktop and laptop deal for the week

The queston I get asked the most is what is the best desktop or laptop for my money right now.
90% of the time this is for average office/home use, office apps , internet, e-mail , etc.
If you need a system for high-end graphics , video editing or gaming then you might need something with a little more horsepower.
Please remember that the best system for your money changes at a minimum weekly if not more often than that.
