Question: So, I'm planning on buying a Dell Notebook....
It may seem slightly insane to buy one with the upcoming expenses, but with the upcoming move I think one will be highly useful, for e-mail, storing and modifying applications, checking job postings, learning several programs I've been wanting experience with, and for a bunch of other things.
Rumor to the contrary, I am NOT buying a laptop so I can play World of Warcraft. While I plan to buy and play it, it's not my primary reason, or even close to my main reason for buying the laptop. On the other hand, since I'm buying this on a payment plan, I might as well arrange the high-end capabilities so that I CAN play MMORPGs.
So my question for the computer experts, is this: does this look like an adequate system for what I have in mind?
