Custom built

I prefer custom built by a pro, though I have built one myself. I also have had a Compaq and an EMachine. With custom built it is much easier to upgrade or make changes and the OS software is less buggy.

It was Dell, but never again

My last two computers were Dell desktops and I have generally been pleased with them, and was starting to read up on their laptop lines. I saw a new Dell-manufactured anti-virus software recommended somewhere here online, and I ordered one. It never came. I called. Ninety minutes and six people later they had not even begun to resolve the problem. I asked them to cancel my order and refund my money, and they said to do so I would have to go back to the beginning of the very long initial customer service wait. At that point I decided my $21 wasn't worth the time I was spending, and gave it up - thus losing my money with no hope of ever receiving the product. What if I'd just bought another computer and needed tech support? Never will I buy Dell hardware or software again -- and I do hope their management monitors these techie chat rooms to see how many of us have similar complaints.

I have only bought one computer. And, it was a very long time ago. After that peice of junk, I decided to build every computer I have owned since, for various reasons already mentioned in this thread. But, pimarily because I have the knowledge and abilty to do so. And, I can always build a better one that suits my needs now,primarily as a Gamer. I started building/engineering Computers back in the 1970's

Toshiba?

by DerfX - 5/4/08 1:34 PM In reply to: Poll: Which desktop computer "brand name" do you prefer? by Lee Koo (ADMIN) Moderator

Personally. I prefer to build my own desktops but as far as laptops go, I've had great luck with Toshiba's stuff.

My wife should be a tester for laptops because she can find the weak point to any system whether it be software or hardware. She goes through laptops like I change my underwear, which suits me just fine because I get her hand-me-downs and after some simple repairs, most often, I have a great little machine.

She’s now testing an HP, which is holding up pretty well except it’s barely a year old and she’s already talking about a new one. Her last gift to me was a Toshiba that I had to stick a new hard drive in because she let it sit, turned on, overnight, on the sofa with a blanket covering the vents, repeatedly until it just cooked the hard drive. Amazing how where they place the vents has so much to do with how long they last.

But, I didn’t see Toshiba on the list so I thought I would stick that one in there. ;-)

dell computer xps410

by patsy girl - 5/5/08 7:57 AM In reply to: Toshiba? by DerfX

I have this xps410 Dell computer and am completely satisfied with it.
This is my second Dell and since I can not build my own, I am very satisfied with this one.

Dell

by Spinreiner - 7/6/08 8:47 AM In reply to: custom by repete_smile

I have had a Dell desktop and a laptop. I love them both. Tech support has been awesome. Lightening got my desktop, and I am relying on my laptop now...with no problem. A close second would be HP. All of my HP's have lasted for 4+ years or more before needing upgrades. Toshiba is dead last. Everybody I know that has one has had nothing but problems.
