new pc

I have two print outs from Micro Center with the specs for two different towers. These are new pre built.
I know it depends on what I want but I am asking if someone can help me go over the specs and prices.
The $900 has an integrated graphics card which I am unsure about.
I was hoping for i5 and put the money in a dedicated card but don't really know.
Thee is a 3 year warranty for $169 and a standard 1 year for both.
If you would like to help I will send the specs as attachments.
Thank you

PS I was hoping for virtualization, for Virtual box, hyper threading , WiFi, Bluetooth, good RAM, and Windows Pro. I have to make my own re-installation stick which I have.

Put up the specs.

I haven't used a video card in maybe 8 years. The built-in i5 CPU graphics is plenty good enough for general operation unless gaming is a big deal to you.

An i5 is also likely good enough unless you have a special use case. Possible, but not typical.

Extended warranties are generally a money maker for the seller. Of course, if YOU have an issue, then you'd be glad you had it, but the odds are in your favor without it.

You need to have a good understanding of the seller's return practices. What will they allow and when will they tell you to deal the manufacturer of the individual part instead.

It's really a matter of how serious you are about the budget. If you have money falling out of your pockets, then go hog wild.

Hi,
Not sure what it's like but looks like a good deal only 8gb's of ram but yeah 3 year warranty is a must !!

Paying anything extra for a warranty is absurd. If it is faulty it is covered by law. If it is stolen or you spill beer on it then it isn't covered (but probably is on your house insurance).

If you pay an extra 10 or 20% for a warranty (on anything) you are being ripped off.

Hi,
What ever in store warranty is well worth it especially a laptop

Please, I am elderly and not techy but will post the specs of both. The ones with 9 are the 900$ machine and the ones with 12 are the 1200$ one. They are numbed by page as in; 1,2,3.
I have about 6 pages and hope that will work.
Money is important to us all but I want to be able to run virtual box and some of the features I listed.
I will check back later and thank you very much.

Hi,
Just post to the micro center website of the machines you're interested in :)

>>I asked if I should post here for an opinion so I do not understand. I have been to Micro Center where I got the stats of the machines they have available. I wanted i5 so money could be spent elsewhere but this what it came down to.

Hi,
Well someone else can play with the pdf's then good luck :)
