What brand is this? Dell? HP?

If you do get it, i recommend getting Vista- i had the same choice when i bought my laptop and i am finding Vista to be excellent!

Customer build your pc at: umart.net.au

you can build a MASSIVELY POWERFUL GAMING COMPUTER for less then $1200, if thats what your after. The price above is for the Intel CPU, getting the AMD CPU is significantly cheaper.

*Anti-Virus AVG - you can download this for free, so it adds no value to the deal
*Office Application-Openoffice - same as above

You know what else you can buy for $999?
A first-class hooker.
So let's summarise your choices:
- Buy a computer LIKE A NERD!!!!!!!!!
- Buy a cute-looking prostitute and have the night of your miserable life.



Difficult choice.

Lol Vista = shithouse I'm afraid. Too sluggish IMO. However, you can possess a much better computer if you custom-build it.

Be that as it may, it still has compatibility issues which can be a real pain in the ass. So for now, though I thought I would never say this, XP FTW!

vista is shit. It's much slower than xp. I cannot seriously make any notes on my comp because it's TOO SLOW.

OMG, I need to go back to that ancient time when we use xp.
