I am very partial to both Acer desktops and laptops. Morgawse Send a noteboard - 28/09/2010 11:15:02 PM
Never had a problem with them, components are good quality and you can make it as cheap or as expensive as you like. Just do a little research on the particular parts in the prebuilt machine you're buying; cheaper ones tend to have older models of processor and graphics card.

As for a HD TV as primary monitor, I'm not a fan of that because of the slower refresh rates of TVs, but then I'm a gamer and that kind of thing is important to me. If it isn't to you, you'll probably be fine.

What do you do with your computer? Desktop or Laptop? *NM* Roland00 - 28/09/2010 11:18:57 PM 154 Views
Desktop. I have network access storage for work files so I don't ever use laptops. Tom - 29/09/2010 01:25:15 AM 340 Views
Okay, now what will you use the desktop for? Roland00 - 29/09/2010 01:49:15 AM 349 Views
HP Pavilion Elite. ≥8GB RAM. 1TB Memory. 1GB video card. They offer about 3-4 models like that. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 28/09/2010 11:35:32 PM 152 Views

Doesn't the US have companies that let you pick the parts and then they assemble for a small fee? *NM* Helene - 29/09/2010 06:05:09 AM 142 Views
Most of those options were only $20 - $40 more than the base options Tom - 29/09/2010 01:50:20 PM 346 Views
Here is what I would recommend Roland00 - 30/09/2010 05:36:08 PM 382 Views
It gives me an error if I try to set up that configuration. Tom - 30/09/2010 06:19:34 PM 361 Views
Don't worry about that then Roland00 - 30/09/2010 07:09:30 PM 330 Views

You might like a Sony BlackAdder - 28/09/2010 11:43:56 PM 368 Views
Sony machines, especially their laptops, are vastly overpriced in my opinion. Morgawse - 28/09/2010 11:55:13 PM 337 Views
If you're looking purely at specs, yes that's true BlackAdder - 29/09/2010 04:36:52 AM 331 Views
I'm fairly sure that Sony no longer makes normal "desktops" Brian - 29/09/2010 12:58:00 AM 359 Views
Correct Roland00 - 29/09/2010 01:52:17 AM 343 Views
That's what I thought. Brian - 29/09/2010 02:54:20 AM 383 Views
hmm, alright then BlackAdder - 29/09/2010 02:37:59 AM 347 Views
Yeah it bummed me out too. Brian - 29/09/2010 02:52:28 AM 353 Views
Re: Yeah it bummed me out too. BlackAdder - 29/09/2010 03:39:52 AM 419 Views
I've found Sony to be frustrating to deal with. Tom - 29/09/2010 01:26:33 AM 344 Views
Yeah they've been going downhill BlackAdder - 29/09/2010 02:42:33 AM 345 Views
HP used to be good, but I've been hearing bad things recently. Ghavrel - 29/09/2010 12:58:44 AM 357 Views
What bad things have you heard? Tom - 29/09/2010 01:27:23 AM 357 Views

If I were going cheap on laptops I would probably go for a lenovo Roland00 - 29/09/2010 03:21:19 AM 866 Views
I had no problem running multiple programs for hours at a time. everynametaken - 29/09/2010 07:11:08 AM 381 Views
I am curious what is your model? *NM* Roland00 - 29/09/2010 01:15:09 PM 152 Views
It was a C500 I believe. everynametaken - 02/10/2010 01:30:29 AM 341 Views
I like my HP better than my dell. nossy - 29/09/2010 01:14:39 AM 350 Views
Did the bad computer lick your apples? *NM* LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 01:23:00 AM 147 Views
No, that would be a bad thing. nossy - 29/09/2010 01:34:59 AM 333 Views
But that Dell was the bad computer. *NM* LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 01:37:09 AM 127 Views
Hmm. I've just made an amazingly stupid post. nossy - 29/09/2010 01:40:02 AM 333 Views
Crack is wack, yo. Stick to grass. LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 01:41:21 AM 313 Views
Dell sucks more dick than a gay boy at his first Pride event. LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 01:21:06 AM 338 Views
I liked your "like a gay for pay frat boy" euphemism better. Tom - 29/09/2010 01:28:13 AM 343 Views
Well, they can't all be hits and I try not to recycle material too often. LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 01:31:37 AM 328 Views
Re: Dell dick gay boy event. Gaps - 29/09/2010 02:59:38 AM 348 Views
I didn't say he'd do it well. But yes, I believe a significant quantity of pole smoking would occur. *NM* LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 03:02:38 AM 132 Views
find a HDTV that can do at least 1440 x 900 resolution moondog - 29/09/2010 02:16:30 AM 337 Views
Good advice *NM* BlackAdder - 29/09/2010 02:43:38 AM 133 Views
Anything designed by Cyberdyne Systems is the future. *NM* jiggy - 29/09/2010 09:51:56 AM 175 Views
I've heard they have problems with their customer service. *NM* LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 11:52:25 AM 142 Views
I heard the opposite. They respond quickly and effectively. *NM* Gher - 29/09/2010 03:36:03 PM 141 Views
No customer ever complains twice, eh? *NM* LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 03:36:52 PM 136 Views
Nope. Gher - 30/09/2010 03:24:23 AM 317 Views
I really don't have computer advice, b/c I bought the first cheap computer I saw. StarrBecca - 29/09/2010 12:15:11 PM 406 Views
