Hi,

I've decided to get a new desktop after last one finally stopped limping along. I have narrowed it down to two but can't decide which to buy so I would welcome some advice.

They are both the same spec (only £20 difference in price), apart from the processor. -
Packard Bell ixtreme 16621 uk or
Dell Inspiron 58010.

The PB has a i5 and the dell an i3. I have had a Dell for the past 8 years and it has only just packed up - but PB are an unknown to me. Are they any good - found it in PCworld, the Dell will need to be ordered online.

Thanks

    Stay well clear of the Packard Bell stuff - mainly sold via dixons/currys/pc world.

    I had the misfortune to have one and the quality was shocking.
