Title: i need a new computer
Post by: MCRFan666 on February 24, 2008, 12:56:19 PM
im 13 and need my OWN computer that is not shared with 5 other family members

it needs to be cheap ($200-$300) and stuff
i know of a few i have seen that look good:
EeePC 4G $400
gPC $200
CloudBook around $300

i would use it for photos (editing and uploading)
writing (aspiring author, too)
graphics (GIMP, Imageready)
and websurfing (NSF, Kaos Kore, my forum, youtube, etc.)

help?

Build it out of rocks.

They're everywhere, and so cheap.

A $200 computer?

That limits you to an Apple II.

To be honest, none of them. They're all pretty bad.

Computers that cheap usually can't handle much.  Try and get a refurbished used computer.  They're cheaper, and stiil work well.

You really sure you need a computer? I mean, I shared my computer with 3 other family members and they love their computer time.

Then how do you have Imageready? It isn't FOSS like some of the other stuff on there.

Just save your money and get a low-end eMachines or something.
Like this (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8696306&st=computer&lp=1&type=product&cp=1&id=1198888558723) or this (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8649304&st=computer&lp=2&type=product&cp=1&id=1195599475252) or maybe even this (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8661557&st=computer&lp=3&type=product&cp=1&id=1196470438779).

i only have $53 saved at the moment spent the rest on Wii games...
also, i could spend into the $500's, but i dont want to wait that long

like this (http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/inspnnb_1525?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&~tab=bundlestab) would be good enough for $500 starting price

GPC + RAM Upgrade is the best, that 2nd choice doesn't even have a intercourse ing hard drive, just a 4gb flash drive.
