Did I do good?
Now why go with HP? Well I have had two or three HP computers, and I have to say they might come loaded down with crap - but their customer support team has never let me down. With the last PC I bought from them, I had to return my monitor. I contacted them, told them the problem and they sent me another one with 2 or 3 day shipping. I sent my old one back in the box the new one came in and I was done with it. HP has won me over.
The new machine should be here either Thursday or Friday, so I’ll be sure to post some pics!
