OK, here are the specs of my computer at work. Got it two months ago, and it's pretty awesome. I'm thinking of getting the exact same one for home. Could be however that by the time I do replace my home computer, I'll be on different technology.
Dell OptiPlex 9010
3rd Gen Core i7,
Intel 3 i7-3770 / 3.4 GHz
Quad-Core
Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2
Cache Memory: L3 cache - 8 MB
4 GB RAM - Technology DDR3 SDRAM
500GB Hard Drive - 7200 rpm
Intel HD Graphics 4000 Dynamic Video Memory Technology
Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Edition
It's a mini tower, to conserve space. So looks like this:
While we are at it, these are the specs of my travel laptop. I bought it last year when I was traveling to Canada and Ecuador for six weeks. And the technology is still excellent. Used it for my last trip to Vancouver too. Just noticed the i7 is no longer available for sale. Wonder whether Toshiba has come out with a new edition? Would be awesome if it is one with greater battery life. The battery life is not too bad, maybe three or four hours depending on what one does, definitely not the eight they say it has. But I heard they were doing some work on the battery side of things.
