[Electronics-Talk] Obtaining a New Computer

[chaltain at gmail.com]

Not sure. The Dell I have was provider by my employer. Plus, it's a few
years old now. If you can, I'd suggest putting your hands on a few options
at a store like Best Buy. I'm sure they'll have the most popular versions of
laptops like the Dell Latitude and the HP Envy. You can see which you prefer
and even check out the 17 inch laptops if you like their keyboards better
and don't mind the size and weight.
