Stupid Dells!!!!

[Toksin]

I bought my computer from a small independent shop in my town. Besides a faulty videocard from factory (which got replaced under warranty), she's fucking perfect. Never crashes.

They also changed my CPU cooler for me and all I had to pay for the was the cooler itself

I like building my computer...I get what I want, and its cheaper.

Dude, as the owner of a computer company, 99% of the time it is not the computer. It is a software problem. I am not sure about the video card stuff above though. I do not like Dells. Gateway's suck too. Go with IBM, HP, or Sony. Any of you got KaZaa (or similar program)? That is the source of 40% of computer problems. Get some GOOD virus scan (like McAfee) and a GOOD spyware removal tool (AdAware 6.0). Just don't download so much stuff. If you want to do that, get a used shitty computer and do it all on that. I do all my downloading of music, etc on a destop. My IBM ThinkPad is perfect - no problems. Used the restoration CD if you have to.

HP or Sony? Those are absolutely horrible. HP makes fantastic printers, but their computers are shit. Everyone of my friends that have one that I've used was complete and utter junk. And they were brand new. Sony is about the worst. I would classify them quite close to Packard Bell.

Almost any computer(there are exceptions) that you can buy in mass quantity at a store like Best Buy or Circuit City aren't of great quality. I recommend Dell and Gateway as well as IBM. This may sound as just my opinion, but its the exact same setiments that all the computer geeks I know share.

By the way, what's the name of your company? And what do you specialize in?

I have heard terrable things about Gateways...and in my opinion with them comming out with digital cameras and plasma Tvs only shows that they are going downhill. Dell, i have heard mixed opinions about. I love the IBM stuff. It is a bit more $$$ but well worth it. That is all i sell to my clients.

I would rather not post the name of the company here, but we do hospital and doctors office's networks. It is also a billing company.

sony makes every product under then sun, yet you would recommend them. and Hp's are terrible computers, think compaq presario bad. gateways are good computers, have good warranties, and good customer service. i've had my gateway laptop since july and haven't had a problem with it.

sony's are really good computers. my brother has one and nothing has ever gone wrong with it. and it never freezes.
