This one is ALMOST the same computer, but 100 bucks cheaper.

It has a 2-core I3 rather than a 4-core I-5, and a 1 TB drive rather than 2TB. Now, if you can save up the pennies, go ahead and get the I5, I don't want to "cheap out" on you. But from what I guess, I don't think you'll notice much if any difference between the two.

Things you might wish to "add on" or swap...swap the HD for an SSD if you can when you order. That will probably be extra $$$. Later on, you can add a graphics card if you wish (it's like an after-market add-on, so you don't have to front all the cash at once).

I do have my laptop but it's a very last resort. There isn't enough desk area on my computer station for a laptop and I have no other good place to set it up where I can sit down.

 

[FranC]

Yes,I do have the back ledge where my computer screen sits but I don't want to get into moving that.

I think my black screen is my moniter shutting down. Where's Atty? Do moniters go to crap? Mine is old,has been thru 2-3 computers. Light no longer works well. After it goes black it says Screen is locked or something like that when I press the top button.
