Is that a Dell model #? 5100? Anyways, I figured it out

I let my friend know about the Dell Sale, and she's getting it instead. Since she already has a monitor, she'll sell me the dell monitor.
And now I'm free to get the emachines.! Works for everyone!
Thanks though for your suggestion!

same boat

The 5100 is a laptop. I don't know what the guy is talking about.

I'm in the same boat, deciding between Dell 4700 or an Emachines desktop. I'm leaning emachines, too.

The Dell 5100 is a desktop. In fact, the 5100 series replaced the 4700 series. Your looking at a computer that is no longer made.

It was the 4700C that was replaced by the 5100C. The 4700 is still being produced. Srry, I'm in a hurry.

I would go for The T6520

The Dell might not have a PCI-Express slot or AGP
the T6520 has a much better Processor than the dell.
