Do the math and you can jusify the faster machine. Your computer may take
1.5 seconds to open a program. The new hot models can open that program in
1.1 seconds, saving you 0.4 seconds every time. Three times a day you save
1.2 seconds, times about 350 days in a typical years. For only a few
hundred dollars more, you can save an extra seven seconds a year. That is
time you can spend with your family instead of waiting for a computer. It is
not about the money, we're talking major quality of life issues here.


... and if you're running a virus checker in the background
that checks each file before it's opened, the difference is
more significant.
