I don't have to get them both at once. Just want to do one with plans to do the other.

Too bad they don't have a "buy a laptop get a desktop for free" deal. That would be awesometastic.

Some of the new stuff coming out for Windows 7 is pretty nifty.

Depending on how "nice" of a discount you get, I would look at:

Desktop: HP Touchsmart 600

Laptop: Perhaps the Dell Adamo XPS although it might be a tad too small for your needs.

If you have the two PC system, I would look at setting up ORB on your homebound PC to live stream your iTunes and Photos to your Laptop. (Assuming you have followed GD's lead and freed yourself from Apple's DRM)


If your discounts are not quite that "nice" I can suggest some more budget friendly systems. If they are, How many PC's can your purchase?
