I really suggest getting a quad core processor...considering you can get an AMD quad core for the same or less than an intel i3 dual core.
SomeKittens list of questions is also extremely relevant

You won't need quad-core for those simple tasks.
most people buy computers for long term.......
For the $450 price point, i think this is your best option.
Scratch that. The chances are non existent. I just checked every major seller, new egg, best buy, all brand sites, those kinds of things, and you can't get a 17" screen

It seems to me that this one (which is at Best Buy) is cheaper and at least as good as the Acer you just pointed to.
While the on paper specs may not be that great, they actually work better in real life than they look on paper.

Tebow?Tim Tebow's one of the most underrated players of this season.
I'm still not sure I understand your insistence on a 17" screen. If you want God to bless you, then don't put limitations on His blessings.
I personally dislike HP products as a whole

Quote from: YourMathTeacher on December 01, 2011, 07:09:04 PMWe'll call those Tebow Processors. That was funny. I don't get what the big deal is about Tebow (other than his outspoken witness for Jesus, which I appreciate). It's not like this is the first time the NFL has had a quarterback who was better at running than passing (ie. Randall Cunningham, Donovan McNabb, Michael Vick, etc.)
Quite honestly I think Acer, HP, and Dell are all low-quality. I much prefer Toshiba and my personal favorite, and the one I will only buy from any more, Lenovo.

Do others out there agree with Zardeck, or would you rank the brands differently?
