Urgently Needed: A Desktop Computer
Thursday, April 8th, 2010Our desktop computer has been busted since December last year. It was the same time my laptop was out of commission. Suffice to say, it was a real nightmare for me since I work online and need the computer to be able to work. Repairing the laptop was the cheaper option that time (we didn’t have any budget for surprise repairs like these) so we went to restore my Dell Inspiron 1525.
Four months later, we still have not been able to repair our desktop computer. Its motherboard needs replacing and while we are at it, the husband suggested we upgrade everything as well, since we are only replacing parts of the CPU. I am contemplating whether to give him the go signal to apply for one of the payday loans given out at his workplace so we can just have it done with. My laptop is turned on almost 20 hours a day and I am afraid it might die again – I cannot afford to replace a laptop this year.
- Here are the upgrades we will be having:
- Have the motherboard upgraded to Quad Core
- Have RAM upgraded to 3-4GB
- Have videocard upgraded as well
I would want a bigger monitor too – for scrapping purposes but I am sure I cannot justify buying one when my monitor is still in excellent condition.
I just saw the HP TouchSmart PC though and I am interested how it will play up with reviews and feedback once it is out in the market.
Here are just some of its features:
• a 23" hi-definition screen that you can pinch, rotate, drag, and more
• built-in TouchSmart apps for music, video, photos, social networking, and gaming
• editing features for photos and videos
• wireless capabilities, including wireless keyboard and mouse
• let’s not forget five USB ports
• the ability to watch, rewind, pause and record live TV
• a clutter-free slim design using no cables except for one single power cord.
