HP Intel Pentium 4HT 3.06 Ghz w/ monitor 1.0 GB DDR2 SDRAM and 160 GB hard drive and DVD R+W. Should I buy?

Question

I was thinking about buying the above computer and it seems like the best one. I am buying from a rent to own place so there's not a wide selection. Would this one be a good one to buy? I will be surfing, writing reports and doing other school stuff on it. They don't have a duo core, the highest they offer is a Pentium 4.

Answer 1

I am surprised at all the answers you've received ... yet nowhere do you mention how much it will cost you.

That's what I need to hear to give you a worthy reply.
Good for what you need = yes.
Worth buying ... I have no clue.

Answer 2

Sounds like a pretty powerful machine. Should be more than enough to handle what you want to do. But you might want to shop around. Maybe a less powerful system would be less expensive, but still be able to handle the work you need to do on it. I have a Pentium 4, 1.0 Ghz, 512meg RAM, 160 GB HD, DVD/RW. Just bought it about a month ago for $299 (after rebates). I do pretty much the same stuff on it as you're describing and it has no problem handling the work.

Answer 3

This computer would work for the purposes you stated.

BUT, have you though about how much this thing will cost you from a rent to own place? Do the math.... payment times number of weeks paid.... this usally equals 2 to 3 times the amount the thing would cost brand new. It is never a good economic decision to rent to own something for 3 times its value.

I understand if you don't have the cash to purchase outright, but you would still be better off borrowing from a friend or family member and setting up a repayment plan with them then to purchase from a rental place.

Answer 4

That'll be more than enough for the needs that you stated.
