You've got me pegged alright!  I think William has convinced me that I need
to wait for the Haswell processor which is faster and cooler.  Dell has it
available but not in everything yet.

There is a regular HD listed, third from last - 3TB SATA.  I am having a
hard time reading the quote and figuring out what it means.

I'm anxious to get a faster computer but my laptop seems to sense that I'm
searching for a replacement.  It has been blazingly fast all day today!

I'm going to slow down and do some more research before I buy.

Thanks,

Tina
