I will be getting a new computer for college this fall. Im not sure which computer I will be getting. The minimum I need in a computer is:
*14 in screen or bigger
*2.1 GH2 processor
*2GB RAM
*Hard drive 160-250GB
*Must have wireless ethernet
*as inexpensive as possible!
With that said Im not sure which programs would already be available on the computer.
If I were to need any of the following programs, which would be the best free ones, or will it be better to buy a "name brand" program such as Microsoft Office.
Antivirus, Spyware Removal, and Firewall
-AVG Free (free)
-Spybot Search and Destroy (free)
-Ad-Aware (free)
-Spyware Blaster (free)
-Comodo Firewall (free)
Office Software
-OpenOffice (free)
-GoogleDocs (free)
-Microsoft Office Home and Student (119.99)
Operating System? (will I need this?)
-Ubuntu (free)
Any ideas, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
-Thanks!
