Checking computers available from retailers for a contact.

Friends often ask me to check the specs of a computer for them. I don't mind doing this as many retailers will happily sell a new computer that is so slow it might as well be 10 years old. Often computers retailers sell are slower than the computer a person already owns. The following is the latest list of computers I put together for a friend.

Hopefully others will find value in this list. If you're looking for a computer one of the most critical things I first check is the processor speed. This eliminates many of the computers quite quickly.
