QuiltE, whatever you buy, don't buy an Acer. Their customer service is so bad.........at least here! I had two, one laptop and one desktop. The laptop had problems from almost the very first day. When I had to send it in for the 4th time I told them I want a new one but I didn't get it. The same problem is still there
I now have a HP desktop and I'm very happy with it.
The HP printers are good but the ink tanks (we call them cartridge, I thought you too?) are very expensive. That's why I bought a Canon instead of new ink tanks! As far as I know there's always the possibility of double sided printing. Some printers won't print when one of the tanks is empty, the Canon just goes on. Sounds weird but when the yellow is gone and you want to print a design you don't need yellow. So I'm happy it does go on. Do I make sense? I hope so, it's early in the morning, I just woke up and had only 1 coffee LOL LOL
