I got free shipping, and I'm also getting a free dell color printer thrown in. I got it thru an employee purchase program discount. I can't wait to get it, chill at Panera and surf the net on free wi-fi.

 

more ram

 

90 day warranty?

 

shoulda got a better videocard

 

:werd:

that aint gonna be enough...troost me

 

I thought about more ram, but its mainly going to be used to surf the net and writing stuff. as for the warrenty stuff, my sister is a computer guru and she can repair all that stuff for me.

I didn't want a balls to the wall system, just something portable with a decent amount of power.

 

Repairing a desktop is not the same as repairing a laptop. h: As long as hardware is concerned h:

 

I don't think the computer will crap out on me hardware wise. its usually software issues, and I've got that all covered.:knocksonwood:

 

Panera Has Wireless?!?!?!?!?!??!?! :shocked:

 

add more ram when you get it. it will be cheaper and you will be much happier.
