- December 05, 2012, 02:52:00 AMEverything you need right there. It does not have a wireless card though, so plan for that if you were planning to use it wirelessly. If you do want a wireless card, they are simple to install (Staples might even do it for you, for the price of the card. Not sure about that). If you want to just plug a cable into the back of it though, that'll work.
I've harped on it before, but I'll mention again...if you can avoid Windows 8 and just get Windows 7, I'd do that, unless you are going to get a touchscreen monitor. That's a choice for you though, you may not agree with me or just want Win8.
You'll see some reviews talk about the graphics card is not that great for "gaming". Well that's if you are gaming with stuff like Warcraft, Call of Duty, things like that. Graphic intensive games. If you kids don't do that kind of gaming (and even if they do really) I wouldn't worry about it.

- December 04, 2012, 04:20:11 PMLucky - personally, I avoid HP computers at all costs. I haven't had good luck with a single one and have had family and friends with zero luck with them (hardware failures of one sort or another). Also, please notice that these do not come with a monitor. Those can run you anywhere from about $100 to $200 (maybe less with sales, smaller size).
If I were going to purchase a new computer it would be a Dell, Asus (NOT Acer), or Lenovo. I'd probably lean towards Lenovo, they are cheap, and have been getting pretty good reviews lately (and you don't have to deal with Dell customer service).
In short, the two computers you listed would be fine for games, pogo, general internet use and general use for things like homework/word processing.

- November 18, 2012, 06:30:19 PMGreetings,
No matter what computer you have, If you had good luck, you will stay with it.
Conversely, If things went bad...you will drop it like a chinese chicken.
Good luck
I am really happy with my apple iMac and MacBook Pro...but I don't play games with either of them...been using two HP (Costco) computers.
Good luck

I should have stated that this new dell is a all-in-one 2330..and I have used every resolution that's in appearance and display...every time I open a game in Pogo the game is all out of wack...no matter what I try I cant fit the game in the screen...if anyone has had this problem and fixed it...I greatly appreciate any advice...I'm missing my gaming....lol
Honestly, your best bet is to post a message here: http://en.community.dell.com/
It could be something wrong with the screen itself, your internet browser, the graphics card, a driver, etc. The site above seems to be the fastest/best way to get issues resolved, if they can be resolved without calling or RMA'ing a product. Give it a shot at least.

- November 16, 2012, 04:47:41 AMI have owned several Dell computers and never had a problem. but their customer service does blow. I will make one pricey suggestion when it comes to Dell. Buy Alienware. I got one this week and it is over the top and runs like nothing I have ever owned. You can get a basic MX14R2 for under $1000. This is the one I have but I upgraded several things and spent more on it. This line can have multiple hard drives I have 2 you can get up to 3 but you will pay big bucks for that. And right now it is the only line Dell was shipping with Win 7. I intend to avoid Win 8 for as long as possible. Alienware has their own owners Forum and it appears that the customer service is not handled by Dell. The number is different.

- November 15, 2012, 04:32:36 PMMy mother has a dell and she only has problems with it. Granted, she isn't a very tidy computerist but it's still aggravating when your system is nothing but trouble.

- November 15, 2012, 02:07:27 PMI've used the same Dell tower since 2001. Only upgraded hard drive, one stick of RAM, OS, sound card and video card. Chipset is still the same and never had a problem with it. I've had others buy towers and laptops and they also have not had any issues that wasn't 'user error'.
Their customer service is garbage. The equipment, depending on what you get, is generally the same as any other it's just the customer service that is the problem. If you have trouble with computers, you're better off buying from someplace like Best Buy and getting the protection plan so fixing it is covered. Just based on the customer service though, I doubt I'll ever buy Dell again.
