Hey guys..I know many of you will have your opinions on which notebooks are better and macs are terrible or hp rules but i’m pretty set on going with the Dell. I’ve had good experiences before.
This notebook will be primarily used for internet surfing, iTunes/music, report typing, DVD, studying tool, pictures, etc. Not much gaming- if any at all. I have a webcam attatchment, mouse, cooling fan and little speakers added but I won’t list them out here. I wanted to know how this configuration matches up, and any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
