Looking for a new computer for my boss
Do packages not come with monitors anymore? I'm not looking for something super geeky. Just a basic tower desktop, mouse, keyboard, speakers, and monitor.
Would like for it to have: Windows 7 Professional Good processor around 6 GB RAM Looking for a 17" monitor Want to keep the price between $600-700 for everything, if possible. Suggestions? |
Do. Not. Buy. ASUS.
|
most of the time monitors are sold separately anymore, unless you configure you own and add the monitor.
good laptop might be easier |

Had a buddy's harddrive just stop working explicably after 2 months, and I have gone through 2 Nexus 7 tablets through 4 month. They just quit working. Cheap cheap cheap crap.

ASUS makes some of the finest motherboards in the world. You are misinformed. |
Fine, 3 products that said ASUS on them have stopped working in a relatively short time.
EDIT: No, not informed. I was deployed with this guy, his computer was our sole form on entertainment. It simply stopped turning on. We sent it in, the whole computer had to be replaced, not an issue with the software, the rep said it was an issue with hardware. |

Nice all in one iMac clone:

I have an iPad 2 and I think it's a joke. But then again, I dislike Apple products altogether (even though we own three iPhone 4s's and two iPads). I truly dislike Apple's OS. I also think it sucks that Apple doesn't support flash and that in many cases, you have to use half-assed "apps" in order to view a website even close to how's it's viewed on a PC. Blech. |

2. MUST have Windows 7 Professional (network purposes). I realize I cat get that separately and install it, though. 3. He doesn't want an all-in-one or a laptop. He's a lawyer in his 60's. He just went from a flip phone to an iPhone. That has been a headache for me since he discovered I have an iPhone as well. Even the other paralegal in the office asked if we'd worked out an IPhone consulting contract...lol. He's used to a tower, he wants a tower and bigger monitor, and he's getting what he wants. |
Just buy a Dell. For those without IT support, or technical knowledge, that is the easiest route.

I found a dell I liked on newegg. Also a Dell monitor. |
A 17" monitor is freaking TINY by today's standards. You're much better off getting a 20-23.
You better hope the boss croaks before this system does or you will be faced with trying to teach him how to use Windows 8 ... that will not be fun. |

My experience with ASUS products has been excellent. When I "strayed" and purchased Gigabyte boards, I regretted it because I had three fail within 18 months. Yet others I know have had no such issues. Computers. :( |

The case is extra skinny which means all the 'cards' are not default size. no biggie if you are getting an all-in-one motherboard type computer but buying a new graphics or sound card later means you have to buy low profile. You generally don't get all the sale prices on low profile stuff. just FYI |

And I spent over 5 minutes trying to cut and paste it into CP, but the damn image and character limits kept it from working. That's as good as you get. Buy an Optiplex 3010. 21" monitor, $702. |

My buddy bought a newegg combo build that came with a MSI mobo 2 years ago, it just died. When fixing his rig, I made him buy ASUS. PS: NEVER buy Corsair products, I HATE them with a passion! |

Zennith makes a great laptop.

Also like already noted.... ASUS is a great company. I use their motherboards on all my rigs.
