Low end to me means the basic models, starter systems. If you are poor stick to an older used PC you can get for little money. Also learn to work on your own machines when they fail, this means buying some basic tools and using google to find fixes.
The fact is the computer indistry doesn't care what you want, they need to make money. The reason you have so much crap loaded onto a new PC is because companies pay the OEMs to include it and that money is usually all the profit in selling new machines (outside of upgrades to base models). Apple could care less about basic low end machines because it cannot make the profit on them that it likes, and people who would have purchased a more profitable machine might get cheap and go low end. The only people I know who make money with computers seem to be the people who repair them for others who have no clue. Most people make money with skills, computers are just tools and recently just media devices.
