Oh gosh. Why you do mi like dat? Mi is one excellent cook. De only problem is finding de time fe cook. Decembah is always quite so I experiment with new recipes during the month but that's for the cooking yawd.

Anyway, I was speaking with one a mi geek nerds dis mawning. Im did tem mi tse im prefah ASUS ovah Dell. What about you?

ASUS X553MA-XX088H Red 15.6" 1366x768 LED Glare, Intel Pentium N3530 2.16Ghz/2MB, Intel HD, 4GB DDR3, 500GB 5400rpm, SM DL 8x DVD+/-RW, WLAN 802.11b/g/n + Bluetooth 4.0, Win8.1





This is from a European site. I was told it's crap under the hood:

DELL Inspiron 15 (3542) Blue, 15.6" (1366X768) LED Glare, Intel Core i3-4005U (1.7Ghz/3MB), Intel HD Graphics 4400, 4GB DDR3L-1600MHz, SATA 500GB 5400rpm, DVD Drive, WLAN 802.11b/g/n +Bluetooth, Linux, ENG




I have forgotten what is the difference between Pentium and Celeron? I know Celeron is not as good. What is Vostro? I see it on sites from Europe and Latin America.



I have forgotten the basics time for a review. What were these processors called before the Pentium name was used?

[j-kid]

Mi noh ah noh problems wid yuh reasoning. Which more ah di now Black generation practiced som ah dat.

No in other words, I don't want to spend al my money at once and end up being broke.

Especially with the nonsense going on in the US, who knows what the economy is going to do. I carefully spread out my major purchases but, in this case, I left it too long.

Maybe I have taken my brand loyalty to Dell to far. If the computer geek nerds prefer ASUS maybe I need to look at one next time.

J-kid, picked up my new Dell Latitude 2 days ago with everything installed as requested. Took it to a car warp place yesterday to have the decal added. Looks great. I am logged on from there now.
