a New PC!

ChrisDVD · 09-12-2006, 02:43 PM

Hello!
My grandma is looking to buy a new PC, and a quite Powerful one.
Here is a Tower that she was thinking of buying, and HP.

I really like it, and wonder what do you think of it.
also, any suggestions for a screen? like which company to go with? (she want something like a 24 inch....)

thx for your help.

Looks good to me. No video card though, but I take it she doesn't game.

That would do her fine, unless she wants to get into more gaming

A 24inch LCD!!!!

well, it doesnt have a video card, but the intergrated looks ok right? i mean she dosnt do gaming, perhaps my little cousins will, but nothing big. Its mostly internet, browsing, printing, burning, e-mail/chatting, etc. Her printer is an HP too, but a very good one (its amazing) she l;ikes good stuff, good quality, and she said this would be prbably her last PC, so she wants a good one. Also, shoyuld-she wait for vista to come out?

no, don't wait for vista. That is the best integrated graphics you can buy, my friend has the same. It will do email/internet, and some older games.

Looks like a good system and you can't beat HPs support. I have a HP system and it's been the best computer I ever bought.

By the way, your graphics card would beat the 6150 integrated graphics by a whole lot, so the HP isn't going to be better in all situations.
