Desktops: Should I buy a new Desktop now...or wait for Win7?
Should I buy a new Desktop now...or wait for Win7?
by wiesta - 5/15/09 8:13 AMI have been in the market for a new computer and found a deal at Costco (item #470094) for a HP a6857c-b desktop with 23" 1080p monitor, 8GB DDR2, Core 2 Quad for $879. It has vista, I am a current XP user, and I am wondering if I should wait for WIN 7. My current computer(Dell circa 2002) is working fine, but I really would like to update my technology. Should I wait for a WIN 7 computer? Will there be better deals on Vista systems as WIN 7 gets closer? Thanks
I'm waiting and then again not.

I'm running Windows 7 RC today and it's great with one problem. My kid plays something called SOTNW (see google) and it doesn't run yet. It will later.
Frankly it is what Vista should have been.

yes, wait until the pc comes with a free upgrade to win7

Hmmm, can you wait for the SP1 of Windows 7?

Waiting for Win 7 re Costco Deal
by ejmmjm - 5/21/09 5:46 AM In reply to: Should I buy a new Desktop now...or wait for Win7? by wiestaI too am in same position. Thought Costco might even have Memorial Day specdial on this machine, but if they do not, I will buy it. Waiting, I think it will go off market and be unavailable at this price but who knows.If you wait there are always new things and then you never get anything...that has been what I have done for the last few years. Now, I am buying.
