Intel

But there are many levels of intel.

Intel celeron, intel pentium are very low level.

Then there's i3, i5, i7

If you just need basic, get i3. If you need fast, make sure to get i5 or i7.

Intel is better for regular computer use. AMD is better for gaming.

Be aware that the intel i3 chip is considered a budget choice. At my last job we had computers with i3 chips and they ran very slowly.

the last one is i3 and it's $200 more than first, so I'm assuming it doesnt pay, either get really cheap or more expensive but not in between?

We often buy laptops and we find that HP elitebooks are really good value for money.

Dell is usually more expensive for the same specs.

Check Dansdeals he often lists good deals on computers.

amother

Looking for desktop

i7 is definitely better than i5.

Could be the other one is a newer model (the processor is 13th generation vs 12th generation.

For same price I would go with i7.

I have to order by tonight I didn't see any recent deals on dansdeals. Do you recommend HP desktops too or you only have experience with their laptops?

I do think that the i3 is too slow for just basic computing.

I looked at the specs and noticed that just one of the computers have a touch screen, which I consider a must.

I haven't bought a computer in a while and I'm wondering why all of these models are all in one computers. Are there more affordable desktops available?

I thought all in one is easier and cheaper? If not I have to buy everything separately?

I only have experience with their laptops.

You can't go wrong with Dell, it's a good brand. Was just thinking maybe you could get better value.

It looks like that i7 one is on sale BTW. That's why it's the same price for better specs.

All in ones come with the monitor and processing unit in one case. They're more expensive to repair if something goes wrong.

I think also because the i7 model is older than the i5 model, but I don't know if that makes a difference.
If I had more time I could be think and search.

I am confused. I thought all in one is a desktop pc? I thought all in one just meant that they sell the monitor and computer together?
