Dear all,
My hp pavillion lasted for 5,5 years but u know, everything has an end. So..
I am about to buy a new computer and more particularly a desktop.
1) My budget is up until $1200.
2) I want my pc to last in the long run (as much as possible)
3) I use the pc just about all day, not only as a pc but also as a tv, for chatting, phone, movies etc. I am a photographer, so I use a lot of photoshop CS5 and sometimes snagit.
4) I rarely play games (but as I used to play a lot, I might start in the future again).
5) So, performance is not a criterion for now, but more for the future needs.
6) I am not familiar with the Mac system
7) I live in the Netherlands
So, to make the long story short, I am between 3 main options
a) iMac 21,5 MC309

2) ASUS eee TOP ET2210 IUKS
http://www.mycom.nl/Product/Computer-Asus/Asus-eee-TOP-ET2210IUKSi32120/1234770
3) a product from dell (see below)
So the thing is that I cannot easily build my own pc here, cause there is no guaranty (not yet 100% sure though).
And I want to be sure that the Mac is going to "pay" its money. And that I would do whatever I m doing now with my hp, without any more complications.
I would select the ASUS but I read somewhere that there is no WIFI
Then I checked the link and it seems to have..I will go tomorrow by the store to find out. And in general I havent find any reviews (if you have a link, plz write it down).
And as for the dell, aparently the price is sometimes even greater than the mac and there are no stores here that you can buy it (just order it from the main central store which is 200 km far).
I would like to hear your opinions on this. If you have alternatives, plz let me know.
(the price in the link is in euros, however consider it the same adjustment to dollars, i.e 1 euro=1 dollar).
Thank you
