Well, considering that this board is thriving with techno geeks and computer gurus, hopefully you can help me. Here's what I intend to use it for and what I'd like:
-sitting on my couch and cruising the web (wireless internet)
-pulling movies off of my digital camera (firewire)
-might see some work use, but won't be much
-Cheap, less than $300 preferably
-CD-RW
-doesn't need enormous hard drive
-RAM is always good, right? was thinking 512 would be nice
-XP
-multiple USB ports
-Touch pad and track ball would be nice
-I like Dells, have been eyeing the C610
If anybody has questions or wants more specifics feel free. Anything else that you can recommend or that I should consider would also be nice. I know this is very general, I'm posting it here to get input on things I should look for or think about, as well as a WTB if anybody knows of one.
