Congratulations!!! Diana. One suggestion, if you did not buy extended service, you may wish to consider it. I have a Dell laptop for work that is just over a year old, and in less than a year, the screen went out. Fortunately it was still under the one year warranty, but the Dell service technician said he replaces quite a few of them. We also have Dell desktops at the office and three of three needed new motherboards and powersupplies before they were a year old. Hopefully they have had time to address these issues before building your new machine.

For this reason, we bought an Acer for our daughter for Christmas. It is working out fine except that she had to restore it to factory settings a few days ago due to a Microsoft issue and lost her documents. She had backed up her music and pictures, but not her Microsoft Office files.

I'm not sure any of them are as reliable as they should be.

Hope you have many, many years of reliable operation from your new machine!!!
