Which desktop PC would you pick?
My parents are looking for a new computer since theirs died today. They're on dial up and do really light surfing obviously, plus a few online games (that Pogo site) and basic business needs (Excel, Word, etc)
So, I was thinking the $299 Futureshop refurb here would be good, but my mom seems like she'd rather pay $100 more to get a new computer and a full one year warranty, which is here at the Source for $399 (Sale ends at midnight, so recommendations/thoughts quick please)
But, I then told her about the HP Pavillion refurb that Best Buy has also for $399 which to me seems like a much better computer, even if it is a refurb. I'm not sure if it comes with the Windows 7 Upgrage though... It doesn't have the box saying it does like the rest of the BB computers that have it. And again, only a 90 day warranty.
As I said, they're light users, but they also want to get the most for their money and something that is going to last at least another 5-6 years.
So, which to go for?
Or any other recommendations? (Building their own is not an option)
