Liz: where are you gonna use your PC? is it always at the office? do you often bring your PC out? Cuz if your using your PC for graphic processing you'll need a lot of processing power, baka mabitin yung laptop. Why not try getting a Mini PC + an LCD monitor, it would give you both processing power and mobility that will fit your budget IMO. Try shopping around Gilmore, look for shuttle XPCs.
