    Which computer would be the better buy?
    « on: December 13, 2010, 03:58:54 PM »
    Not sure which would be the best buy, I am shopping at Best buy. There is a Gateway with an Intel Pentium, 6GB memory and 1TB HD for 519, and there is a HP with an AMD Quad-core, 4GB memory andn 750 HD for 529.  I built my last one myself but don't feel like risking parts not working and buying Windows 7. I primarily surf the web and use itunes for music and videos. Which would be my best bet? Or if someone could direct me to a better deal? (If that's allowed) Thanks

    Personal opinion - I'm not a Gateway fan and for your needs the HP looks fine.

    You might read the attached article.  Gateway has a rocky history.  It's new ownership may solve some of it's past problems.

    Yes,  go for the HP.
    Unless Gateway offers a free cruise.  ;D
