We've had a few dells over the years, and were not thoroughly impressed with most of them; I am a bigger fan of the HP brand.  However, prices for Dell PCs came down significantly, and I thought I'd give them a try again.  I have not been disappointed.  The graphics are good, and the computer is responsive. The screen is large enough to work with two windows/documents simultaneously, but at some point you might want to upgrade to a 22", if you watch to really enjoy your DVD movies. I have not had any power issues or anything like that, and there is a card reader built-in, so you can download...
