Well not really, I don't really seem to think it's a good idea to buy a computer which doesn't have the right software on it in the first place if you are going for a ready built system, but I guess it's an option though... | |

Not too keen on Dell laptops. Can't seem to get the spec I want on them as they put the right hardware and OS on the XPS, but too small a screen and a poverty spec graphics card to match. On the other models you get the right size screen and a good graphics card, but the wrong o/s. | |

i would recommend Dell laptops and not their Desktops :thumbs: i have an Acer and that is fairly poor, its quite an old one but doesnt get used that much and on a 100% charge i get a marathon 9 minutes of sluggish use :cool: | |

Look at Dells, very good value for money and if anything does go wrong the support is better than the competition imo. | |

You could run Virtual PC on it too if you didnt want to dual boot. | |

Not having a lot of luck finding them anymore. Might just have to get an HP or something, which is a bit gay as they market them towards idiots who don't mind paying shit loads of money for somthing that isn't that special :| Though every time I go into a computer shop I get more and more tempted by a Mac Book. Gay. | |

Asus and Acer (IIRC) both do whitebox type thingies that you can then build up yourself. | |
