I don't know if they are all crap. . . I have been through a ton of crappy computers. I now have two Dells. One lap top that is about two years old that still runs perfect. And one desk top that is now about 7 years old. That thing is still going strong even though it has been hooked up to high speed internet and never had virus protection. Probably just lucky I guess but I will always go back to Dell until I have a problem.
