Tablet PCs might not be the best bet for a desktop replacement... or even notebook replacement. I think I would grow weary of one quickly. They may be cool for limited applications, but trying to do some serious work (or play) might get frustrating.
Of the brands you mentioned, I would also go with Dell. They seem to have the best deals and the best reputation right now. HP and Gateway have definitely slipped.
As for finding the best price, keep an eye on places like www.slickdeals.net for a few days... There is always some new promo being listed there. Amazing what you can save by using the coupons they post!
Any modern PC from these manufacturers will handle what you want to do, but you may need (or want to consider) third party software. IE, some may come with photo editting software, but it probably isn't the best. So, you'll have the horsepower to do it with a Dell E1505, but you may want to find a few more applications to install. I think someone I know just got a E1505, and likes it... Dual core processor, 1GB memory, and all kinds of other goodies for $600 something (I think). |
