if u know how to DIY, anytime at SLS is best time

if u want a packaged set, wait for those PC shows, IT shows

Just go out and get it this week.

Otherwise you can permanently wait for the ideal moment.

Price get lower as the latest models or technology comes in.

Last year's PC are all going cheap.

Maybe you want to wait for the release of intel "sandy bridge" or AMD "Bulldozer" processor.

So far, my kid say it is ok but slow (probably he's using 2mbps wireless).

surf net only and general applications. if the most heavy application you go is watch videos movies online thten probably it will heat up more. get a notbk colling fan can do. 14 inch also quite cheap right? your application surf net no problem lah. ipad and handphone screen even more smaller right? riht the replies after me here some can get even cheaper than my suggested prices range.

From the ts description and the specs of the pc, ts is going for the high end usage.
