If you needed a new monitor and a computer, What would you get?

Our monitor is going out on the computer I am using now and it is a ‘throw away’ from someone else so not sure what size, etc. it has in it. It is XP though.

I am considering getting a new laptop instead of just buying a new flat screen monitor for ‘convenience’ and space saving reasons (ours is a CRT now). I have 800.00 to spend and would like a Dell.

What would you get for that amount of money? We have a good ‘multi function’ printer now that is a HP so wonder if a Dell would be compatible for that. Please give me your ideas, suggestions, and personal opinions. Thanks
