Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I seem to be locked up in pulling the trigger on buying a new computer.
Using the computer for web surfing, photo editing, spread sheets, email.
Requirements:
Desktop
Windows 7, DVD RW, USB ports, flat screen monitor, Graphics card, speed over 2.5G, 4G ram.
Most hard drives offered these days seem plenty big.
Would like to get this for about $500 - $800.
I was thinking of ordering from the Dell or HP factory sites.
For a little extra $, I could get something faster, more reliable and upgradable, if I know what I am doing (which I do not).
One thing that I find to be a stumbling block is how to rate the dozens of microprocessors that are offered on the lower end computers.
Factory sites vs big box stores?
Computer recommendations?
Thoughts on microprocessors?
Help (!) me pull the trigger and buy something.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts,
