Dream Machine

[julesg]

sue,

I am also a REALTOR. I upgraded my notebook last November from an old Sony Vaio Pentium 3 (It WAS a workhorse, never had a problem with it. Just became outdated.)

Here is what I purchased, and I'm quite happy with it. Order from Dell small business group, not the home group if you go the Dell route. I got the external HD from Dell, as well (not on this invoice):
