what's the point of having all those font features going unused?
So they can be used when emphasis
is needed and
makes sense.
As for calling it they way I see it, it's right there in black and white. You implied I said something when clearly everyone can see I didn't. What does that make you?
As for outside the box, I don't have a problem with that, as long as it is factual, and applies to the poster's issues - which have yet to be fully defined. Not everyone needs a gaming rig. In fact most people don't use their systems as a play toy - which you are
still stuck on. Instead, most users want a computer they can use to create Word or PowerPoint documents for work and/or school, read and create email, browse the Internet, pay bills, watch an occasional DVD or BluRay, and maybe relax a little with game or two of Free Cell or Spider Solitaire. And for them, either of the two above are
more than adequate.
But to that, the i5 system is more current and so has a greater chance of supporting a greater range of upgrades longer into the future. And that makes for a smarter purchase decision.

@ Soulja Pixii - sorry for the distraction. You asked about Wake-On-LAN. Most motherboards support several "Wake on" features. These include Wake on LAN, Wake on Modem, Wake on Mouse, and Wake on Keyboard. The ATX Form Factor standard calls for +5V standby voltage to be applied across several points on the motherboard when ever the PSU is simply plugged in and the power supply's master power switch on back (
if equipped - there is no requirement for one) is set to on. This standby voltage keeps certain circuits alive, if they are enabled in the BIOS even when the computer is shutdown and turned off by the front panel power switch. So, if Wake on Mouse is enabled, for example, you can wiggle the mouse and the computer will turn on and boot up.
Wake on LAN does something similar for computers on a network. The network administrator can send a signal across the network to the computer, and when seen at the network interface, the computer will turn on and boot up. This is great for remote operation and access but is not normally used in home environments where the networks are not maintained (
and secured) by IT professionals.
