Getting a New Computer with Windows 7
By Internet Handholding @ 1:50 AM :: 905 Views :: 1 Comments ::

:: Windows

If you are in the market for a new computer, consider this.

Bought a new computer. Sam's and Best Buy had about the same deal. Here are the specs of what I got.

Dell Inspiron 560
Intel e7500 64 bit
8 megabytes of memory
1 terabyte hard drive
21.5" monitor
Windows 7 Home Premium

$750

This is double what you get for a laptop at a lower price.

The wide screen is great. Do not need a second monitor. This monitor is wide enough for two windows and a little more.

I did buy a second monitor though, and it is great to have one.

Windows 7 is fine. No need to be afraid of it. It is easier to use than Vista.

Windows 7 comes with Windows Live Email, which I am using in place of Outlook.

I installed my old version of Microsoft Office 2003, for Excel, Access and Powerpoint.

Also installed Quicken, Quickbooks, iTunes and Visual Studio 2010 Express Beta. All were 64 bit and seem to work fine.

Downloaded a couple of free image editing programs.

The point being, you can buy a new system, with tax for under $850 and you do not need to buy any additional software.

Windows 7 Home Premium is the version you need. You do not need Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate, unless your IT department at corporate headquarters told you to get it.

The one feature that is nice to have in Windows Professional is Remote Desktop Connection, which lets other people get onto your computer to help you out, if you let them.
