The bigger question is, &#8220;What are the specs?&#8221; Right now, the i7 is, in my opinion, the big boy on the block. \u00a0It is showing a reliable processor with adequate speed for most configurations. \u00a0The i5 is a close second, and I would not touch an i3. \u00a0The i3 is, again in my opinion, a glorified Pentium D. As far as AMD processors go, well I&#8217;ve had my share of them, but I just haven&#8217;t found the performance up to snuff.<\/p>\n<p>If you have questions on whether you should get an all-in-one or not, well that question I am leaving for another post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone wants to know, &#8220;When should I buy a new computer?&#8221; \u00a0Well, the answer is rather simple, when it stops doing what you need it to do.
