11. One issue with that machine

the storage space is very small. If you are doing podcasts and images you are going to fill that in no time. windows will eat a good chunk of that drive all by itself and leave you with somewhere around 80 gigs of storage to work with. That is not much when you are working with images and sound files.

Other than that it is a lot of machine at that price. You could certainly grab a larger drive and put it in but I just wanted to make sure you were aware you will definitely need to do that sooner than you would probably like.

Working with images chews disk space I would not recommend anything smaller than 500 gigs for that sort of usage.
