Hello, vast reading audience. I'm in the market for a couple of things in
the next few months, so I thought I'd open up the "floor" to
comments.
The first is a Blu-ray/DVD
player. My old DVD
player has recently gone about as dumb as a cheerleader stereotype. The very nice man at the shop tells me it
makes much more sense to replace it and upgrade to Blu-ray than to spend the
money on repair.
My desired features are fairly minimal, I don't have HD TV,
so I just want a good picture quality, easy-to-use, fast loading player. I'd also like to aim at keeping it under
$150.
The second thing I'm looking for is a new computer. This device on which I'm typing has been very
good to me; I wrote the best things I've written yet on it, but it's also
really old and runs like a dog being kicked uphill.
Here again, my needs are fairly simple. I don't game; I don't mess much with photos (hop)
or digital photography. I just need
something on which I can browse these here interwebs, write, and download,
store, and copy music files.
Desktop or laptop doesn't really matter. I've only ever had a desktop PC, and I don't
think I've ever missed having something more portable. But if I found one that met the above needs
but was more reasonably priced than a desktop, well then I'd be a fool not to
consider it, now wouldn't I?
PS: Oh, and here, I'd
like to keep the price around $650.
Any thoughts, or am I in dreamland?

You dumbass, hike your price to 1000 and get yourself a laptop. Concentrate on RAM and processor speed (the two that makes the most difference in speed). I'd go with Dell if I was going to get a new one. In fact, I just did, for my daughter. Send any questions to your old pal Viper. P.S. I'm with you with the BluRay. Choose wisely because I thought I got a good one and it bites ass.
What do you think of the Dell XPS 8500?
