I think he just meant that instead of only considering Windows, you should consider Linux (Unix too) as well. Not that brand computers couldn't run it.

I just bought a new Dell laptop and love it. I sold my MacBook- I'm a PC
Helpful tip: If you buy online, before you complete your order, Google search "dell coupons" and other keywords to see if you can find a sale or a discount. I did this and saved $150!

good call on the coupon, that is what I was going to input. If you dont like the current months coupons, wait for the next month. Dell normally has one out there, and google it, because if you call in they may not have the coupon at the call center, but if you give them the coupon # they can input it.
I saw some great PCs for under $500 at BestBuy this past week, particularly one HP with like 5 or 6 G Ram and 1/2 TB HD~~~I'm guessin' there's gonna be some good prices to flush the Vista loaded systems and make room for Windows 7.
For a week I borrowed my friend's 500 dollar new Acer Aspire 10.1" D250 notebook with no inbuilt CD player. Using wireless modem for internet, loading is slow but I browse the internet as it loads. High picture quality is excellent when I played Jewel Quest 2 and Luxor 2 at iWin.com, but I had to lower the volume from music option because it can make you lose concentration while completing a stage. Nice clear high definition Dolby sound through ordinary headphones. If you lose a printer driver software CD, you can download free from the company website eg. HP 1210 all-in-one printer from HP website. I give my friend's notebook 9/10 It would be 10/10 if there is some kind of wireless bluetooth mouse so that I don't get sore finger muscles playing the puzzle games.

Stay as far away from Best Buy as you can, mate. They are rated as one of the worst tech shops in the US because of their marketing schemes and the constant screwups of the Geek Squad.
Recently, the Geek Squad has been charging $30 more on new computers for an "Optimization Fee". Their Optimization? Updating Windows... Yep, connecting it to the internet, clicking update, and updating it. That's all. Nothing more. What's worse though is that they also have the ability when a factory seal is broken to install whatever they want on the computer from keyloggers to spyware. And don't get me started on their extended warranty programs...
But don't take my word for it. Go to Consumerist.com and type in Best Buy and see what comes up. Reports from all sorts of bad business they do there are posted on that site by people who were scammed.

Couldn't they just buy it from BB if the price is good & not use their "tech support" ?
(I tend to format & do a clean install on any systems I buy from anywhere anyways)
