its hard to say..its personal preference and what it is gonna be used for..i know the older dells could only be upgraded with dell parts which were expensive...thats why i built my own...saved a bunch of money...but this is GEICO....:crash

i seen costco has a limited time offer on the upgraded version...

that 19in. display look's tight and it comes w/ many upgrades (surround sound, etc.) is this a better deal? or would a sony viao be better?

the costco deal is lookin better than the viao right now...:dunno

 

bump...

 

What are you going to use it for. Video cards are a big chunk of change so you can save :dollar if you aren't going to game with it.

Also, check out Alienware . They have been pretty cost competitive with Dell lately. They don't offer free monitors though.

 

not gunna do much/any gaming just surf the web, play poker...

i'd save $300 if i get that costco hook-up but don't know if it's worth it for my need's. the surround sound, bigger monitor, etc. would be nice

COSTCO has the best return policy. and if you are an executive member you also get 2% cash back.

alienware are badass and solid for gaming, but a bargan at costco i would not pass up

 

OK, if you configure the Dell link for a 19" LCD, you get a price of $1341. That is still the better deal. The difference is the software bundle, a hard drive that is 3 times the size (on the costco) and a DVD writer.

If you are surfing the net and playing cards, do you need the massive hard drive? Try configuring the straight Dell link to your personal wants. Add the DVD wrighter. Don't pay for a bunch of stuff you wont use....

the 19in. is the digital one and the costco bundle come's w/ surround sound. yea, i probably won't ever use all that hard drive but just incase i might, it's a pretty good deal.

i like the sony's too

 

Can the new Dell's be upgraded with parts not from Dell?

If you're not going to game, and just going to surf the web, do e-mail etc...

I would have to agree.

Nice systems, but they cost a buttload .. as for the walmart comps there a piece of crap.. just my two cents.. id suggest you get somebody you know that is knowledgeable to build you one.. or even put together a decent computer for a bit lesser.. and easier upgrade if you have plans for it..
