boilerman -> what to buy? emachine vs Dell (8/6/2006 12:48:50)
|
Hello all, I'm new here so be nice !!! I haven't kept up with computer technology basically because at my job I use a PC, but just make a phone call when it don't work. My wife has a HP PC that has served her well for 5 years. It has now bit the dust. Here basic use is internet and Word Processing. She plans to do some photo edit type stuff. But, 90% will be internet. Her big complaint while she had the HP was "it's too noisy". Our one son has a Dell and says it's whisper quiet. So... it's kind of narrowed down to a Dell E310, possible E510 depending on what's on sale, or emachine T6534 that is quite a bit less expensive. Were talking about $750 for the Dell equipped like we want compared to about $500 emachine. I think the only add on for the emachine would be another 512 mem. card to take us up to a gig.
Any comments? My wife asks my opinion and I'm not sure. Like I said at work I take what they give me (Dell Optiplex GX270 right now) and just use it.
Any help would be great. Thanks !! The new guy, boilerman
