I had been doing quite a lot of surveying on computers lately. Initially, I planned to get a brand new laptop but think twice, I think it would be wiser to get a desktop PC when I do loads of downloading most of the time. Hahaha …

Initially, I had my eyes on the HP Pavillion P6130D. But then, I had heard endless stream of negative comments about getting HP desktop PC. Frankly speaking, the price ain't cheap at all compared to a Dell desktop PC which offers almost the same specifications but better.

I did went to one of the HP authorized dealers in Bandar and asked about the desktop PC. The service offered was quite nice but the thing is I need to wait for about two weeks before I could have the PC. They do not have any in-stock good for the model which I wanted hence I have to pre-order them. So, I told them I will reconsider and will go back if I really it. But I did not go back there.

There was an ICT Fiesta at The Mall last week. They did sell some quite acceptable desktop PC at a reasonable price but then I doubt the reliability and durability of the brand hence I did not bother to enquire much about the model.

So, I browsed through Dell Malaysia online and was interested with their Dell Inspiron One 19 but was being told not to get it despite the "good-look". There goes my fantasy of getting one for myself. My friend told me that the PC wouldn't be able to serve me long judging from the way I am using my current notebook. *ouch*

In the end, I've decided to get a normal desktop PC. I went for price research for Dell Inspiron 545S Desktop PC. Dell Singapore is selling it for more than 1K. I was surprised when I found a much cheaper deal in Bandar. They are only selling it for BND$958 and you'll get to choose the skin colour of your CPU. Well, you also get to choose the skin colour of your CPU from Dell Singapore but then you will be paying for the colour you chose. Hahaha …

And the best thing yet is that they are offering a 20" LCD Monitor. I know it ain't big deal since most computer users are now using a 24" LCD Monitor. But then, 20" is more than enough for me. They also offered free upgrade to Windows 7 from Windows Vista Premium 32Bit.

I have yet placed my order for the computer but will do it soon. Hahaha … =D
