Computer brands

[Kyougi]

Well, why do you think that way? What is it that any Apple has, that any other company doesn't?

I said dell

i build my own, but if i was going to buy just a pc for internet it would be a emachine realy good units now, but if i was going to buy a pc for gaming it would be an alienware because there amazing machines

I like Alienware (they unarguably are the best) BUT then it all lies in money Honey

Dell affordable and good Build & quality

IBM - gr8 support , Build & quality and affordable

HP- BAD @ build quality BUT ver Good @ support

I agree with all of that except for the part about Dell's build quality. I mean, they are durable enough, but they just feel cheap. And I expect HP's build quality is not the best, but it is fine.

I have heard nightmare stories about tons of adware and stuff that come shipped with HPs... Any truth to this?

Well, I once had a Compaq computer that had a things slide out of the side of the screen, but besides that, the talk of adware is just anti-HP propaganda.

[MadGamer]

I voted other as i have an Advent now and i had one in the past. I have to say they are really good imo, and ive never had a problem with them.

I think that dell is a good computer brand for normal stuff and apple is a good one for like video and audio.

A good kind to rival Apple for video and audio is the Sony VAIO line of computers. I mean, VAIO computers were pretty much built for that purpose (hence the Video Audio Integrated Operation). Often, the stereotype is that Apple computers are for artists and such, but Sony has given Apple a good run for their money. But I guess Apple computers usually come with more bundled software for this type of stuff. And what with the specialized software for HD stuff. But in terms of hardware, Sony makes good stuff, with the HDR-FX1, the world's first consumer HD camcorder, and the HDR-HC1, the world's smallest HD camcorder.

I've never used a branded computer... I'm quite happy with assembled ones.

You should try an IBM. A fine brand with the versatility of a home made computer.

[Dragonfire]

Its config is:

 

128mb ram

20gb hard drive

Cd Rom / Floppy Drive

128 / 256 mb ram

40 / 80gb hard drive

2.0 / 2.6 ghz Pentium 4

D915 Motherboard

I go with Dells... to me there are just like the xBox to the rest of the gaming consoles... they are just my favorite. Nice, complex with simplicity, powerful, and reliable support with a good cost.
