Gateway Parts

i really want a dell laptop.?

i just started working part time in march (im 16, wil be 17 soon) im real into music and photos and surfing the web pretty much computers =) im trying to decide wether i should get a computer or not the one i want is like 1000 but i can get a 12% discount through someone i know =) and then 50 dollars more off from the same person. so like 160 savings ( its a little less than 1000 ) i really want one, but i just got a computer in december. but it was my sisters used dell ( not a laptop) but she got a laptop for christmas and gave me this since then ive gotten real into computers and using itunes and taking pictures and everything. and i really want a laptop. but my mom as kindof been hinting that i shouldnt use my money like that ( if i got the comp i would be spending all of my savings account on it) but the thing is that i wouldnt have to buy it all at once. because dell does plans like 30 dollars a month. and with my connection i wouldnt have to pay interest should i get one? just clarifying. by my connection i meant the person im buying it through and i already know what computer i want its a dell inspiron 1525. if you know about this computer can you tell me if its good for downloading music through itunes and managing my music through itunes and storing pictures ( and possibly editing the pictures) and surfing the web quickly. thanks =) -cole im really spending only 850 and i only get the discount through the person.. i cant get it anywhere

1. yes but buy from bestbuy.com or circuitcity.com, becasue they are cheaper since they are preconfigured, if you want to spend $1000 get an xps, they are on sale for a 1000 dollars all the time at staples or best buy or circuitcity they still cost $700, without any deals
2. Hey let me be the first to tell you if you are paying 1000 for a 1525 you are getting ripped off I am running a gatewqy m6850fx from best buy which is better than that and only paid $899 and before anyone tries to knock it I have upgraded to an x9000 so you better step up if u got it. anyhow the upgrade was $400 on E-bay and believe me it was well worth it.
