So.I bought something today [View all]

My old computer suddenly bit the dust on Oct 18th. The on/off switch stopped working. Took it to the shop. They ordered a new power switch. It didn't work. Meanwhile I'm spewing VAN lists on a tiny, dingy chromebook. My only recourse was data recovery. I waited until after the election because I was so busy.
Finally today I found a computer I liked. Dell had models, but they were weird and more expensive. Like you couldn't get more thsn 16 gb of ram on their Inspiron. To get the equivalent would cost $1500. I could have orderd from HP, but it would have taken weeks and Amazon had the price.

This the longest I have been without a desktop. I am a heavy user.

It's also the most expensive I have bought at 1200
