Nevermind are you tech-savvy? eerr..you look like one, i meant, are you a comp sci major? i'd trust less- cause i've seen ppl with computer degrees not knowing ANYTHING about hardware. so take my word for it- 2 yrs, any computer can go out the window- but Dell will be the first one. I've had hp and dell both- dell's support is good, but hp lasts longer.
