- I'm looking to buy a 486SX PC for home use. Locally, I see various
- stores advertising Packard-Bell and LASER brand computers for what
- appear to be pretty good prices. These are obviously oriented toward
- the "unsophistcated :-)" PC user in that in one package you get
- pre-installed DOS, Windows, mouse, modem, VGA monitor, and other
- software such as Microsoft Works.
-
- What I want to know is why one of these isn't the good buy it seems to
- be. Is it service, non-standard hardware, reliability or what? I'm
- interested in all opinions pro and con.
-
- To save bandwidth, e-mail your reponses to me and I'll post a summary.
