Hi everyone,
This is my first posting and i am relitively new to computers.
After many problems experienced with my old laptop, given to me by a relative, I am considering an upgrade to a new Dell Diamention 2400c 2.6Ghz computer with 512 MB Ram and a 40GB Hard Drive including 48x/32x//48x CDRW/DVD-ROM Combo drive.
With my limited experience around computers and before ordering the computer on line, and to ensure I get the correct package, I would welcome advice before ordering.
There are options to purchase the following monitors.
(1) 17†(17.0 VIS) Analogue Flat Panel Monitor
(2) 17†UltraSharp (17†VIS) (with height Adjustable Stand) Analogue/Digital Flat Panel Monitor
The Ultra Sharp Monitor (2) cost £100 more – Is there a great deal of difference and is it really worth it ?
Dell recommends a 3-year on-site next business day support package but this is quite expensive.
The computer is just for personal use and although it would be missed, it is not essential.
They offer various deals from 1-year collect and return service to 5-year on-site next day service support, I would be grateful for any suggestions?
At the moment I have a monthly, weekday, daytime package with Tiscali but intend to upgrade to Broadband usage.
Tiscali offer Broadband for £15.99 per month plus free Modem and set-up.
Is this a good package; are there better alternatives.
If I decide to go with Tiscali is it better to arrange prior to receipt of new computer or wait until its in situ.
Any other advice, comments or information will be very much appreciated.
