I want to buy a computer for sending email and surfing the web, what kind of features should I look for, and what price should I be prepared to pay?
A $1000 price tag just to send a few emails can make the rising cost of postage stamps downright appealing! However, based on your requirements, you won’t need to buy the latest technology. In fact since you only need basic features you should be able to buy a P.C. for under $400. Take a look at dell.com or hp.com. If customer support is a concern, then Dell is your best bet. However if price is your main priority then Dell is one of the best inexpensive computer makers.
