Let me do some research to see exactly what's inside of it and I will get back to you. I don't want to give you wrong information.

My problem is, I am too stupid for a MAC. They confuse the hell out of me.

Basically all you need to know is the red X is now on the left corner and if you ever cannot find anything press command and space at the same time to find anything on the computer by name.

Macs are nice but they have their place and are not for everyone.

Alright well after reading the specs and reviews on the XPS18 here is my take on it. The processor in it is already dated by a year, and really 4GB of ram ins't really cutting it now in days if you plan to keep multiple windows open. So will it do what you want it to, yes it will but it probably will not be very efficient and quick at it.

Do you guys have a budget of what your wanting to spend? And since you were looking at more of a desktop, I am assuming you will need a monitor too right?

Well we need an all in one, because we are very short on space.

What about this one

http://www.dell.com/us/p/xps-18-1810...id=xps-18-1810


It is much more than I was willing to spend.

From what I have read, that one has been getting good reviews and is honestly what I would say as minimum specs for a modern pc that you plan on having for a few years are. Have you looked at what HP and other makes have to offer other than dell?

I just think they are a little overpriced.
