PC gifts — It's the monitor, stupid By Bob Sullivan, MSNBC "If you bought one of those bottom-of-the-line sub-$1,000 PCs last year, for yourself or as a gift, you probably feel stupid. Because this year, there are plenty of places to buy $700 PCs that will smoke your 12-month-old clunker. In fact, if you're gift shopping this season, it will be hard to buy a computer that isn't overqualified for your giftee's needs. So my shopping advice this year: Try to forget about the PC. Throw all your mental energy into buying the best monitor you can and beating back the urge to buy a package deal that includes a printer. And don't get seduced by rebates." msnbc.com
