Computers and such
Feb. 15th, 2006 04:12 pmWell, I'm looking at buying a computer yet again! Except this time, I'm actually able to get it. Mom said she would buy it for me with part of her income tax money, and even though it's not in yet, Gramma and Grampa said that I could borrow the money from them. Yay!
Now, I'm looking at a iBook. It has 1GB DDR333 SDRAM (512MB built-in & 512MB SO-DIMM), 80GB Ultra ATA drive, Bluetooth wireless, 1.33GHz PowerPC G4, and a 12 in screen. It will cost me $1,129. This is more than I am supposed to spend, but I have some money left over from book money, and I offered to throw that in to get it.
I was otherwise looking at a Dell Inspiron B130. It would cost me $900 and had these specs: Intel Pentium M Processor 735 (1.70 GHz/2MB Cache/400MHz FSB), Win XP (of course), 15.4 screen, 1 GB DDR2 SDRAM 2 Dimm, Integrated Intel Media Accelerator 900 Graphics card, 80 GB 5400rpm hard drive, Combo/DVD+RW Drives, Dell 1370 Internal Wireless (802.11b/g, 54Mbps), etc.
I think I'm going to go with the mac, but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. It's a big purchase, and I want to be sure I am making the right choice. hehe
