I'm getting a new computer soon and I've checked over alot of the stuff with one my friends (much more tech-savvy than I). One thing we wasn't sure about was this:
"Genuine Windows® XP Media Center Edition 2005"
The site (Dell.com) offered that, Home Edition, and Pro, but Media Center seemed to be the best choice. However, I wanted to check with some of you guys and see if anyone knows how good it is. o.o/

Dell machines are okay, as long as you do a clean Windows install first thing.
I'm not really a fan of the whole Media Center Edition, but it really depends on your preferences and usage style.

The cake used to be a lie like you, but then it took a portal to the deception core.

Our desktop is a Dell. It works OK, but I didn't want one for my laptop, I'll say that much.
They put MacAfee on it even though I deliberately de-selected it as a software option. That really torqued me off. I ripped it out first thing.

I think a while back, Dells were okay (I bought mine around 2004) IT ACTUALLY HAD A PENTIUM PROCESSOR!
Then they decided to rip out the pentium 4's and put in celerons (Stupid I know) I think they put it back or something...

Celeron is a Pentium processor, more specifically Pentium M.
I use it, have no trouble with it. ^^

Celeron is a budget 'version' of the Pentium. Pentium M is the mobile version, and there is also a Celeron M, which is the mobile version of the Celeron, obviously. But they've dropped the Pentium name now.
The Dell software they install is removable.
Everywhere like such as, and MOES.
