Hello Brian,
Thanks so much for the reply. Yes everything is too pricey. I’ve always liked dell but I would consider another brand. I believe you are right it might be best to wait until the pricing comes back to normal. I was figuring on a laptop at first then decided that a desktop would be best. I had a dell laptop that I was using with a separate monitor for editing but it’s too old and needs replaced (still running windows 7.) If you can suggest another brand I would consider it but think your right this may not be the time to purchase a computer.
