For the finishing touches on my computer I would need:
Mouse
Keyboard
Speakers and Sound Card
Printers
Internal Optical drive
External Storage
Probably Gaming accessories
This list will help my computing needs. I will most definently need a keyboard, so I can type anything that deals with words or numbers. A mouse to help me select for my shopping, work, designing, and whatever I am doing on the computer. Speakers so I can have adequate sound. Not sure if I really need gaming accessories but it wouldn't hurt. The list of items will put the finishing touches on my computer. I'm sure there could be more but I really don't need a over the top computer.

Computer Processor I am Choosing
The options at Dell.com were:
Design Operating System
Personalize----$85 Windows 7 Premium ------Included
Black ----------Included Professional---------------$130
Ice Blue--------$40 Premium w/extra transfer cable----$30
Promise Pink----$40
Microsoft Office 2007 Core
Trial Version--------Included i3-330m------Included
Hame and Student 2007-----$119
Front Side
1066 MHz--------Included
The highest recommended processor speed was Intel COre i3-330m. I think I am ok with the processor that comes witht the laptop. As I personalized it, Dell did not say If I needed to upgrade. This Laptop has plenty of space, as for the memory, hard drive, the processor and the front side, all are just what I need. I am only using the Laptop for home and School purposes. If I ran my own business then maybe I would need to upgrade.

Explaning the Basic Computer Configuration that Meet my Needs
According to Dell.com, I would need a USSF Form Factor. I really do not need a specific size or shape . However, I did find a new Inspiron Zino HD. It's a new mini desktop computer. The desktop would meet my needs but I would prefer a Laptop, only because I can take it were ever I need to. As I looked through Dell.com I did find a Laptop that I really liked. The Inspiron 14 (1464), has pretty much everything I need. 4GB Memory, 250 GB Hard Drive, camera, DVD Player, Windows 7, and the new Intel Core i3. The memory I defiantly need because I really can't do a lot with less memory. Also, the Hard Drive is bigger.
