I&#39;m getting a laptop with these specs:<br />i5-3210M, Nvidia GT640M, 8GB SDRAM, 750 GB, Win7HP.<br /><br />I was wondering whether I could get a similar or better full set desktop for less than RM2600.<br /><br />1) Budget : Less than RM2600.<br /><br />2) Purpose : i) to play games like AC3 and the Sims3. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--><br /> ii) to surf the internet, watch online videos, do video conferencing and type documents.<br /><br />3) Purchase date : late next week. Say after the 18th Nov.<br /><br />4) I am partial to Dell and HP. If there is another brand that is good and have reliable after sales support, please mention it too. <br /><br />5) Touch screen monitors? Is it worth it? Why is everything (the cpu, dvd player, etc) behind the monitor? Wouldn&#39;t it be dangerous? Like something wrong with monitor, a person wouldn&#39;t be able to change just the monitor rite? <br /> Thus, should I get the desktops that comes with the touch screen monitor? I&#39;m thinking of grubby children hands poking here and there. Especially with the Wins8. Eeeee... But give me a choice one rec with touch screen monitor and one rec with seperate monitor.<br /><br /><br /><br />Thank you. Your thoughts are most welcome. nil_blaze Hardware Sun, 11 Nov 2012 18:53:45 +0800
