All modern PCs are over kill for most applications and really a waste of money unless your PC is a source of income ie professional designer architect video editor etc they are also are able to write off the depreciation on the purchase and claim back gst etc so expense isnt so relevent for them . Buy what you need not what the salesman want you to buy remember his commision is based on the amount of your purchase	kiwibeat (304)

Buying that, you ARE future proofed to a certain degree, in that word processing cannot really go much higher or bloated than it already is... Im sure I'll be eating my hat when Microsoft releases Office, two versions down the road... ;-) To be honest, the moment you leave the store, your PC will be depreciated and old... there's a newer and better system out there somewhere for less than you paid, and that's just life in computers! Go for it :-)	Chilling_Silently (228)
