Brand new, customized from Dell, about $700 - but I already had a monitor and keyboard and mouse. My daughter recently purchased a new laptop through NewEgg for about $400 and it's a fabulous machine. I love their prices and the egg ratings are really, really helpful.
Well since this is a stock pc, what I'm using is an HP Pavilion a6540d, it cost around $750 that time.
I got my computer from rent a center. So I actually ended up paying double what it was probably worth. Do not get me wrong, it really is a nice computer. And my family and I are very happy with it. But like most rental stores, the interest you pay is almost as much as the computer itself. So I believe the grand total came out to $1,400. The good thing about it is you get quality products. And obviously if you do not have the full amount you can make payments. Our computer is a flat screen, desktop. And the tower is built into the computer. Which is nice so it takes up less space.
I spent about 1900 for my iMac when this came out. I'm a songwriter and it does help me produce quality music so it's all worth it. I thought at first it was expensive, but now that I'm using it; there is no regret at all.
I used to have a computer that cost around 500 dollars, but after an unfortunate dropping accident I had no choice but to have to be a little bit cheaper seeing as I didn't have the funds to get a better laptop. The one that I'm currently using now cost around 350 dollars, and while it's nothing special and it can't run games at any sort of playable level it suits my purposes just fine and i'll be content with it until I have enough for a better one.
My laptop cost me around £380 or around $500, brand new. It's an Acer Aspire 4738, 500GB HDD, 2GB DDR3 Memory, Intel Pentium Core 2 Duo. I'm made up with it as it's enough for me to do a lot of things. I don't use it for any games anyway.
I bought mine for £450, it's not a bad machine but it's certainly not the best. Specs on it are; i5 @ 3.10GHz, 6GB RAM, Nvidia GTX550Ti, 2TB HDD & 120MB SSD. Not bad for the price, it runs most games on the highest graphics and is quite fast. Good for everything really.
I bought my laptop for $650 and I am very satisfied with it. My first laptop cost over $2000 and did not last 4 years. I've had my current laptop a Toshiba C655 for approximately three years and it still works fine.
I still have my 3 year old HP laptop, which cost me around 600$. Every time i think how i could get a laptop 8x better with that same money nowadays, i feel sad.
We spent about $600-$700 on the computer I am using, my fiance's. However, mine we got for free from his dad, but his dad spent 1,000+ on it. It is a gaming computer. But we buy them at Best Buy and they are reasonably priced I think for whatever your price range may be. I don't think I could spend much more than what we usually do though. Could have someone build a better computer for $600 than buying a 1,000+ I think.
I've had my PC for about 4 years now, but I use it mainly for gaming so it was a bit expensive at the time, I think it was around $1300 at the time. It's getting about time to replace it, but there's no way I can spend near that amount nowadays
