desktop replacement 1,000 bucks
another generic help seeking thread (sorry)
i've got a dawn of time dell desktop that i adore, but there's no hiding that its due for retirement.
my living situations a bit complex so a portable computer would take the edge off.
usage:
-watching films
-listening to music, making playlists, burning cds
-lots of internet time
-a few applications running at once (short attention span)
-some photoshop (would increase if my machine could only take it)
-im not a gamer
my most used applications are:
-divx
-songbird
-sonicstage (changing mp3 device soon hopefully)
-photoshop
im also interested in computers with digital tv capabilities.
so its really more of an entertainment machine im looking for.
my experience of macs hasnt really endeared them to me but im open minded.
i tend to be brand loyal, and although i know its probably not sensible sony tends to be my brand.
i liked the look of the VAIO AR-21M but am sure its not right for me and probably has bells and whistles i would never use.
the thought of spending big amounts at once petrifies me and working in the retail industry i have little trust for sales people.
although i'd like it to be portable if theres a desktop of the gods that would suit me better i might be swayed.
im really grateful for anyone who finds the time to help me out.
