I am looking to buy a new Desktop, I will only be using it for the internet. I want the best performance desktop. I am going to buy one with a Dedicated graphics card.
what is overall better Home or Gaming?
Also are HP and Dell top of the line? or is there a better brand?
Bob I would save my money, invest in Desktop in say the 5 to 6 hundred range without a dedicated card and it will work fine for browsing the web....even that is more than you need.
I use a Lenovo Yoga 900 laptop and it's very fast for internet even though it's integrated video. The Intel HD 540 Iris has a very high Passmark score that it even plays video games well. Plus, as a laptop, it's portable and goes everywhere. And I get free internet going to libraries, groceries, bookstores, and restaurants in the USA.

But the best desktop is a custom built desktop.
Laptop unfortunately have short life and absolutely cannot self hardware upgrade.

I recommend something like this:
Intel Pentium G4560 Kaby Lake (3500MHz, LGA1151, L3 3072Kb) Socket LGA1151 80 $
Any good and functional motherboard with Socket LGA1151 100 $
SSD 250 Gb - 100 $
memory DDR4 16 Gb - 130 $
other (rack\power supply\pereferials) 200 $
___________
total 610-650 usd without monitor
best perfomance!

Not sure where you get your info from. Laptops have no shorter a life than any other computer, and you most certainly can self upgrade some components.

This. Buying a gaming system or high end workstation just to surf the web is a huge waste of money.

Memory and hard drive can replace and not always possible.
