Guest guest Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Bruce/Pink... you're right Bruce. With these prices something new is the best way to go. I'd like to have a laptop next...

Understand the cheapest one you can find will be manytimes more powerful than what you have. Right now Best Buy has a Compaqwith a 19 inch flat screen monitor online for $399.98. Most stores todayhave a wide variety below $600. I personally would go with HP or Compaqin the low price range (same company). and I both have HP's thathave performed well.Your other option is a laptop. Now, many on here will say they lovethem. I like mine but would not want to use it all the time. Best Buyhas Toshiba's under $400 as well. I have a Toshiba I like although Ialso like HP and Compaq laptops. The problem for me with a laptop is thescreen size. However, they do now have some with larger screens. Thereare laptops now that are very small and sound like a great idea unlessyou're old and can't see well like me. The less expensive laptopsgenerally have 15 inch screens. I prefer 17 inch in a laptop.Now, with these prices, I would never do a repair on an older computer.You'd be spending at least $200 or so to still have a far less powerfulcomputer than you could buy for $400-600.>> i need a new computer> it's driving me crazy figuring out which one to get and which optionsto choose>> my computer said that i need a new hard drive> everyone says that because it is 6 years old i should get a newcomputer>> any suggestions?>>> Pink Joyce (IPF 3/06) IFA 5/09 Pennsylvania> Donate Life Listed 1/09 Inactive 4/09> www.transplantfund.org> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Joyce,I have a 17" laptop. I love the large screen, but it is heavy. Once you get a faster computer you'll wonder how you ever managed before.PJ Re: new computerTo: Breathe-Support@ yahoogroups. comDate: Thursday, June 25, 2009, 1:36 PM PinkThe basic entry level computers now are more than powerful enough to doanything we need.
