Trip to Italy

[2HOT2touch]

I have recently come upon an opportunity to go to Italy, the one place that I would do anything to go to. It is with a company that I have already done a program with, but was in the United States. So I am getting a discount seeing as I am an alumni to this company's programs, but it will still cost about 5,000 dollars. The program that I went to a couple of summers ago I loved, but I'm not sure how it will work over seas, and I am concerned about the cost, my mom doesn't have that much money after putting me through high school, and she is looking to buy a new house since we just recently moved out of state and she is also buying me a new computer at the end of the year that will be about 3,000 dollars for my graduation present and then she is taking me to Disney, so my cousin and I can celebrate the end of high school together in the happiest place on earth. So I don't know if I should do this in the summer or wait until colllege to possibly beable to study in Italy for about a month or so.


help please

Do you have a job?

 

[2HOT2touch]

I will in the summer, but I need to save up to pay for college

 

[reminisce]

a three thousand dollar computer? you could get a decent one for 500, then upgrade a couple hundred dollars into it.

We have a good computer for 1,000.


As Sparx said, why would it be that much?

the computer that I have had for 4 years was 3,000 dollars 4 years ago. And I want a computer with more on it than this one. I'm going to college, I don't just need some computer I need a good computer, one that I can work with for a couple of years with out it dieing. And it helps for it to be a fast computer because i am an impatient person.

I think you should wait.

3,000 is really really steep for a comp... you should look into alienware.. they have awesome computers in the 1,500 range and are really fast and powerful

what is alienware? and what kind of computers do they have?

 

[PowerMonkey]

they have desktops and laptops... theyre built for gaming, so you can trust the hardware is really stable and high quality.. and theyll build a custom comp for you if you want... just check out their site.. i think its against the rules for me to link you, but just search up alienware on google and click on their site lol

 

[2HOT2touch]

why is it against the rules? but do they have tablets? what kind of software do they use? I mean no offense but I'm just not used to computers costing 1000 dollars. Maybe because I grew up in ct and go to a private school with a bunch of rich kids but i don't know, for some reason I don't trust a computer that is only like 500-1000 dollars

iono, i think they ban advertising products and stuff here lol.. and it depends on each model... i believe most of them run in vista with dual core processors now, and i hear nothing but great things on speed.. theyre graphics cards are amazing.. and like i said, if you dont like the hardware on the premade models, you can always get a customized one with exactly what you want on there... ummm.. whats your current pc? i dont think ive seen many pcs in the $3,000 range lol

 

[2HOT2touch]

well they obviously don't start at 3,000. but once you get everything on them most computers will turn out to be around 3,000 dollars. I have a dell inspiron 600m. and pretty much all the computers I've looked at to get a 4 year waranty, enough memory, and all the software I need will cost about 3,000 dollars believe me I have been looking for a long time.

 

[STOPxmickeytime]

I have two great Dell computers. I'm sure it was less than $3,000.
So just get a cheaper, still good computer.

I mean, is it more important to get some showy computer you can brag to your friends about, or see a new culture and have a great experience?

Sorry if this comes off as rude, but since you asked for advice, I think you need to sit down and get your priorities in order.

I have yet to see a laptop or a desktop in the 3000 range.
2000, yes.
But not 3000.
