I think I paid $900 in 2000, but the price and specs on subsequent computers were better and prices were in the $800 range.

I could have paid $900 for similar specs direct from HP, but it would have been a month wait!
Dell had faster turn around, but not the best selections. Dell's specs went from ho-hum to high-end, but not many options in between.

This is the first time that I have had computer completely die a sudden death. I didn't want to wait another month.

I also couldn't upgrade to Win 11 on my old model and was already planning to buy a new one. I was shocked when this one suddenly died. Thank goodness for data recovery. I psid $148. I had not backed up in awhile.
