Which Dell Desktop? :
What I’m Seeking : - A Dell mainstream desktop computer to complement a Dell Latitude D820 laptop (both will be linked via Linksys Wireless-G). Operating system will be XP Professional operating system rather than Vista for now.
Computing Needs : - Basically MS Office-based (Word, Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint, etc) with heavy emphasis on Internet research and e-mailing … plus digital photo image manipulation (Adobe Photoshop Elements, etc). So high HD storage need is a must. Also need multiple USB port capability. There’s no need for high-performance computer gaming.
General Computer Savvy : - I’ve owned and used computers since the 1980’s but am not a guru by any stretch. Call me “somewhat computer literate” who sees a computer as a tool … not a toy … an end to a means … not an end in itself.
Computer-buying philosophy : - “over-buy” a little and grow into these capabilities … rather than “under-buy” and be wanting for capability later.
As of Now : - I’ve had my eye on the Dell Vostro 420 Tower and did a preliminary features/options check. How does this compare with the other Dell desktop lines in the “mainstream” category?
Thanks,
