ReMark Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 So now you need a cheap computer and fast. Looks like you'll be buying something from one of the big box stores and right off the shelf. Take your shopping list with the "must have' features on it, grab your wallet and car keys and get thee out the door! After you have made your purchase come back here and tell us what you bought. We'll try to be kind. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I see that price and availability has forced you to look at something less than a 17". Why is time so critical? Got that final project due for school? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAREBER Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 Ha! I'm beginning a new job on Tuesday and losing my only existing comp today! And it isn't so much the price as the availability. So, I am really trying here to find something that will work for my purposes, but isn't more than I need and that is ready to go today.
