Buying A New Computer
 
I will be buying a new computer soon. I wanted to get some advice from some of y'all.
Does anyone have an all-in-one computer?
I will be using it at home, browsing AFF, paying my bills, FB, and game apps on FB. Like Farmville, etc.
I prefer Dell, but am not opposed to HP or other brands.
Prefer Windows 7.
How much memory should it have, and all the other RAM stuff that I don't know what it means....:heeheehee

I don't prefer ALL in Ones unless it is a laptop

What do you do if the monitor goes bad? Can you upgrade? How easy is it to repair?

Id rather have a box I can open up and work on if need be or upgrade than something that is built into a monitor

With Win7 no less than 3-4 Ram..the more the better

For one thing it would be all but impossible to buy a computer with less then 4 gigs at this point. Four, six, and eight are the standard sizes now. ALL of them will come with Windows 7.

I would definitely buy a desktop system with a separate monitor. As far as brands, I couldn't offer much advice unless I was physically walking with you through the computer store.

It will be a desktop more than likely. Unless I can get a laptop cheaper, and use my old monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Most laptop screens are too small for me.

It will probably be at Best Buy and a Dell.

Okay, I had decided against the all-in-one. 4+ RAM then, thanks.

Macs may be the best but they are very expensive. If you are on a budget you will need to stick to a windows computer.
