which computer brand?!

Expand Post »
Hey all, im lookin out 4 a good computer for a friend and i want to select the right company.

Normally i would build a computer myself choosing the best possible components, completely customizing the system, but this time around it cant be that way, it must be bought from a company that is cheap, has a good reputation and will be a good investment.

in the past i have found Dell to be a very unreliable company, having errors and replacments being made.
Also Compaq and Tiny are not in my good books, but what do you think?

choose your favourite company in the poll thinking of there reliability and value for money, what company is bad, what company is good?? Or are there any other companys not mentioned that are also good? do tell
:lol: :p

Re: which computer brand?!

Sorry, no option there for me. I distrust ALL 'brand-name' PCs and either build my own or purchase 'white-box' unbranded PCs. That way I get more powerful equipment for the money I spend. That way I also get components and system cases which use standard formats and can be up/graded/replaced/added to quite easily. That way I also don't have to pay extra for customer support which I'll never use.

That all said, HP/Compaq are the brands I would MOST steer clear of

Re: which computer brand?!

There is no such thing, in my view, as the 'Best Company'. It doesn't matter what brand you buy, as the build qualities are all good and the after slaes support is all quite good as well.

What you need to look for is the PC which contains the components which best suit the customer's individual computing needs. Every manufacturer produces a whole RANGE of PCs, and they suit different needs. Your question is impossible to answer, and in reply the question must be asked:

The best computer to do WHAT with?
