New computer
« on: 19 April 2012, 23:11:18 »
Its time I replaced my 9 year old Dell with something a bit quicker. I'm thinking of a touchscreen monitor, camera, 6GB Ram, Dual core chip. Perhaps 1tb hard drive. I would prefer to get one with just Windows 7 without all the so-called 'bloatware'. Up to about £550. Any advice?

Given the rest of the spec, Dual Core seems a little skimpy?

Don't think I'd ever want a touchscreen monitor, personally. :-\

Yes I would agree with that - the smudges would eventually do my crust in. ;D ;D

I suspect in about a year's time, that choice will be removed...

Build it yourself! Dead easy and you can choose the components to suit. I'v just taken that route and I'm delighted with the result!  :y
