I'm looking for an Intel chip, 1TB, good speakers, DVD/CD RW.
Desktops are generally less expensive than laptops and are easier/cheaper to repair or upgrade. There are two local outfits that custom build -- to suit your needs and budget. Village Mobile PC Repair (next to the Comcast office on 441) 245-1500. He built me one last year...top quality components, fair price. I went with a solid state hard drive (quicker, more reliable).
There's also MMD, on 441 south of 466A.
Buy local...service is everything.
