what is the best brand of computer to get for my home?

The brand of computer depends on what you will use it for.  There are HP and Dells.  You can also have one custom made, which I find is the best.  Let's take a look at some desktops. 

The HP Compaq Presario CQ5320F AMD Athlon II X2 240 Dual Core 2.80GHz Desktop PC is the first one I recommend.  This has genuine Windows 7 Home Premium Edition.  It has 2.8GHz AMD AThlon II X2 240 Dual-Core processor, 3GB PC3 10600 DDR3 SDRAM, Nvidia GeForce 6150 SE graphics with 256MB integrated shared graphics memory, 500GB SATA hard drive, and has a special disc label program.

The next one is the Dell studio Xps 8100 Desktop Computer is the next one I recommend.  This is one you can build to your specifications.  This has Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium, Intel Core i5-650 processor, a one year basic service plan, 3 GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1333 MHz, NVIDIA GeForce, 500GB, 16X DVD RW Drive, Keyboard and Optical Mouse.

The last one is the Apple 21.5 in. 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac.  This has 3.06GHz Intel Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 DDR3 SDRAM, 500GB hard drive, SuperDrive DVD±RW, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, Gigabit Ethernet, IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, Bluetooth 2.1 EDR, IEEE 802.11n (draft), Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard and One Year Warranty.

I hope this helps you in your search.  Thank you for your question.
