I'd definitely go for that one over the Dell, but I'd ask about what
kind of tech support it gets. Reading the reviews, some people have had
problems, but it doesn't look like anything that couldn't be fixed with
decent initial support. Depends on how "limited" that one year limited
warranty is.
A couple of the reviews mention a BSOD when the it tries to hibernate.
My experience (limited though it is) says if it's experiencing critical
stops right out of the box, it's faulty hardware - memory or motherboard
- and the FIX is going to be send it back and get another one.
I know there won't be lifetime support, but there should be at least 90
days "up and running" support. More likely it'll be 30 days.
Bottom line: I think it's a reasonable price for that much hardware.

BRuce,
tahnks for suggestion but...
No no and no - I loathe Macs, I've been using windows for over 20 years
.. Using my friends mac is agony. It is NOT simpler at all and
physically annoying . Not to mention I have stuff that wont run on a mac.
It isn't true, either, that macs are safe from viri these days and
the problems I'm having are nothing to do with a virus.
Now boys and girls,
I saw this offer from Staples on line

Comments?
I think the best thing for me to do is get a refurbed computer with Win
7 on it... Use that for web, and keep my lovely old dell for working off
line , rather than installing 7 on it. I did that before when
I upgraded, kept my old windows 98 bus that had things on it I didnt
want to lose and could only run on that...

Ann, not to be "that Mac bigot", but have you considered an
inexpensive Mac? Sounds like you can use your neighbors Mac with no
trouble. It might just be a more pleasant way for you to get back on
the air again. No more virus worries, simpler to work (in general).
If you bought a Mac Mini for $499 you can use your existing monitor
(through a cable adapter: Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter), keyboard
and mouse. I'd suggest a refurb Mac Mini but they don't have any right
now.
Just a wild thought.
