Purchasing DellieMay 12

Our lap was three years old in March of this year.  The computer was getting slower and slower when booting up and accessing the Internet.  We had  purchased a 3-year warranty on the machine and had reached that point so we were optimistic.  Besides, our System Mechanic software always seemed to be able to repair the problems it found.  So at the middle of May when the laptop refused to boot up, it didn't take much to convince us it was dead.  And not replacing it was not an option.  There were just too many times when a second computer was needed.  When we thought it over, though, we realized that the "laptop" part of the equation was not one of the important variables.  In fact, with iPads and iPhones, a laptop is beginning to look like a dinosaur.

I knew what I wanted for a computer - have known for several months when I saw the Dell Inspiron One, a touch screen All In One computer, at Sam's Club several months ago.  The hard drive, DVD drive, and computer innards are all in the back of the screen which is 23" diagonal screen.  It is such a cool gimmick that we dropped into Sam's Club and bought the last one they had except for the floor model. It felt so good to have a backup computer again.
