Depends on what you're doing, of course. Right now I'm recording three HD channels, streaming it to two televisions in the house, sync'ing Cops onto my PDA so I can watch it when absolutely bored tomorrow...
Plus enjoying Yahoo Music Engine and discovering new music. Might play a game in a few minutes too.
Every computer does different things, the secret is picking the right computer for what you want to do. For the vast majority of casual users out there, doesn't matter what it is. Hook up my PDA to a monitor and it'd probably be powerful enough to do just about everything a casual user wants to do.
Save 65% of the money and buy a PC.
... and get 1/3rd the computer...
And waste far more time waiting for the PC to boot up.
