I'm needing a replacement computer. Can't decide on a desktop or notebook/netbook.
I've had this Dell E1405 laptop for 5 years now. It's battery is shot, the charger is shot and I had to hack up the cord and solder the connector together and tape it to the back of the computer to keep it powered all the time. It can't charge anything. The screen blips in and out at times. So I've got it's life expectancy out of it.
Kinda thinking about dropping the cash on an HP Touchsmart PC... looks novel- I like the all in one design- I don't have tons of room. Definitely don't want to build another PC- done that for years... always too big and loud. I don't need a powerhouse. 80% of my work is MS Office related. MATLAB simulations every now and then, and solid modelling- but that all works fine on my 5 year old PC now, so I don't need killer speed.
On the other hand, those Asus/HP netbooks are so ridiculously cheap I could afford to buy one and if I didn't like it, oh well- not that much out of my pocket.
