I posted 7 days ago the fact my beloved Desktop computer Died. I have had a desktop computer since 1997, actually 4 desktop computers since then.
I injured my back, sitting at the laptop for hours of each of the 7 days since then.
Do I want a new laptop? Do I want a Desktop, I gave myself headaches, weight the pros and cons of each and what brand and of course the best bang for the buck...
There is no bang for the buck, they all cost big bucks because I wanted everything but did not want to pay 1200.00.
- Touchscreen
- Windows 10
- 12 gigs ram - I got 8
- 1 T storage - I got 256
- 24 inch screen on desk 15 laptop both must have nano bezel edge (this means no edge at all)
- processor 5 and up - got the 5 but not i5 it is AMD Rizen 5
- Solid State Drive
- Bluetooth
- Wireless and Ethernet
On the 7th day, I pushed the add to cart on Best Buy, clicked pick up in one hour at store, pushed pay pal, received and email that said, your order will be ready for pickup in one hour. Wait for email with instructions on how to pick it up curbside.
Exactly 40 minutes later, email came, I drove the less that 2 miles to Best Buy, parked in #1 curbside, opened email on phone, tapped the link that said let us know you are here, gave color and type of car and number I was parked in front of, and the guy came out and sat it in the back of the SUV and I was home.
I paid 700.00 and to get all of the above was 1000 to 1200. I refuse to pay that for a TOY
I tried to find humor in this but could not. I leave you with this.
What is a computers favorite animal? A RAM I got me a A SUS!
the whole thing took less than an hour. It's Here... Asus All In One ......... to be continued

What an exciting trip to Best Buy!! It is REAL pretty! I enlarged the pic to get a better look. So the computer is all in one with the monitor? Now I want to know which features you did NOT get, in order to pay $700.00. I love the NO bezel! Our computer guy loves Asus. My little laptop is only a 13" screen, because I need an ultra light one. Looks like you already have it completely hooked up. Can't wait for your next post!!
congrats!!! super buy! I want an all in one too, but the man said pfff it's like a laptop... no... it's NOT... but to discuss such things with a man is time consuming LOL
It's always a relief to finally make the decision. I'm relieved for you and am looking forward to hearing more details. ❤️
Asus is a good brand but you have to ask for other browser ... Microsoft Edge. I like that better than Windows 10!
Enjoy your new purchase!
Hugs!
Looking good!
Hello, Sandra
Your new computer looks beautiful. I hope you have much enjoyment using your new desktop.
Take care, enjoy your day!
It looks really nice. Too bad you couldn't get all that you wanted but I would be the same way about paying that much. Now you have to give a review on how well you like it.

Oh yeeeaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!! One of my fave brands but here in the UK we pay the same figure in pounds as you do in dollars - which means way more expensive.. The Ryzen is a strong processor - good choice! Have lots of fun my dear. YAM xx
Glad you got the new computer and while not all the things on your wish list, at least some. It looks good set up Sandra, and we will all be waiting for the feedback on your new “toy” as you called it.
Nice! I hope you enjoy it :)
Hello Sandra,:=) Good choice, not a bad price for what you wanted, and it looks great. Ready steady go girl!!
Very very nice I know you are enjoying it and your mind is happy to be free of all that thinking and worrying
Hugs cecilia
Congratulations! Like Ginny, now I'm wondering what features you didn't get in order to score that $700. Woot!
I love it. Because you will enjoy it. So very much! So happy for you. I too am wondering what you didn't get for the $700 and also why is it good to not have the bezel -- I haven't even heard that term before, so what do I know -- nothing much. Bigger screen, less to interfere with your pictures? Anyhow, I'm so happy for you.
You are so techno-savvy! You asked for things I know nothing about.
I could only ask for (1) keyboard. (2) screen (3) reliable innards.
Whew, what a relief that your "Adventure" went well and you got most of what you wanted.
I have to admit I never heard of that brand but it looks like a perfect fit for you.

YAY for you!!! Hope A SUS treats you well:0

That is so awesome! I love it. Wish I could get one! Great price!
Now I anxiously wait to hear your review. I hope Best Buy treated you well since I suggested you go there. I would have suggested Frys Electronics but it would have been a long drive for you... like to Texas or Illinois I think.
I hope you enjoy your new computer, it looks good from here.
I am glad you finally got something to give your brain a break. I sure understand your thought processes cause I go through the exact same thing every time there is a bigger purchase in mind.
That sounds like a simple way to shop. Hope you enjoy your new toy.
Yay for YOU!!! Congratulations!! I hope to hear all about it! Maybe that's what I will get next time!
Way to go!
congrats! that's super buy! great price too.
