I have a Dell studio laptop with a 15 inch screen.....:p It's been a great pc for the last 2 years. I have Verizon Fios for my internet provider which I may be changing in the next few weeks (the service is great, the bill sucks...) I honestly don't know what I would do without the internet, sometimes I leave for a few hours and just feel left out because I'm not online. I am addicted....

Newer Mac Book Pro 17 inch. I think it came out April 2010. Bought it on ebay practically brand new and got a great deal. I also have the BookEndz docking station for it so I can use it as a desktop computer.

I have a few. My newest two are both 64-bit Windows 7 machines. One's a Lenovo Desktop, and the other is an HP laptop. I got both, brand new about a year ago for $250 each.

Thank you www.slickdeals.net!

I have a Dell desktop running XP, hooked up to my TV that I got when I went to college in the fall of '03, and a hand me down Toshiba laptop running XP that's still kicking.

My fiance has a new 64-bit, Windows 7, Toshiba laptop, and a 3ish year old Dell desktop running XP.

I also have two ancient Gateway laptops, one runs XP alright, but the other is a brick. lol

I have multiple computers. Most I build myself. In my home, I do have an older Dell and a Compaq. They have specific uses and were at a price point to fit those uses that I could not pass up when I needed them.

I have a Dell Studio 1737. 17" screen. I added a lot of bells and whistles. It has 4gigs of DDR3 RAM, a 5.3GHz Dual Core..Core i7 processor. Upgraded wifi card, and 512mb of dedicated graphics memory.

For internet I just use my cable company, which isn't very good. Every time we get high winds or rain it seems to go out.

Main home computer is an iMac with 27" screen. It was purchased to replace our old-and-barely-functional G4 Powerbook (about 8 yrs old). The Powerbook was great but it's processor isn't up to snuff for newer software. I use an iPad now instead of the Powerbook for mobile computing.

Network service provided by Bellsouth via DSL modem connected to wireless LAN (802.11n). Not the greatest service / speed, but it usually gets the job done. Bandwidth / speed varies greatly.

I'm on an HP laptop hooked into a docking station for external keyboard / mouse / 2 monitors at the office. Would love to have a Mac here but not gonna happen. Network service stinks at the office; bandwidth / speed of service can be really slow. Service provider - iCore.
