[QUOTE="Jones, post: 541902, member: 4805"] You don't have to spend anywhere near $1,000 to get a pretty nice rig unless you're a gamer. If you don't have a specific task in mind, you can probably pick up an HP at Costco for a lot less than that. If you mainly just surf the net, email, and print out a few things you might want to consider what a few people have already said and get a laptop, but recognize that in general you will pay more for a laptop than a desktop with comparable specs because companies charge a premium for making it small and portable.
