I will be using this for school, internet, music and photo program (probably not photoshop but maybe someday)… Also is there one that is easier to upgrade then another? I am not looking to spend a LOT of money…but if one is REALLY worth more then the others I might consider. I need to buy this week so your answers are greatly appreciated!!!

First of all, rule out the Dell (#1). They’re impossible to upgrade.
I recommend #2, it has a nice CPU, 2.0 Ghz, a good 3 GB’s of Ram, and a nice hard drive.
