Well, this will be used for downloading my music and such, watching videos, writing papers, browsing the net. I do like the fact that mac is not prone to viruses as well. I'm just browsing, but how does HP stand to the other PC's? I get a 12% discount at dell because I'm an OSU student, but I have no problem spending more money for something that is going to perform better.
My buddy has a HP Desktop and I like his a lot.
