Hi all,
I'm hoping you can offer some advice about a computer that I'm thinking of buying from Dell. I will list the features of this computer in hopes that you will take a look at it and give me some honest opinions on the deal. If you like it please let me know. If you think it's a rip-off tell me why.
Thanks for any feedback, it is appreciated.
