which computer is better?

My sister has two new Dells and they are awesome. I have two Gateways and love them. I researched to find what I would want in a computer and what I might want say in five years and decided since I had to money at the time to buy what I wanted and even though new technology comes out every day it seems, I am happy with my computer. I had an argument with one salesman in one store because I would not settle for less. So I went back to another store and bought the computer I wanted and I have been very happy with it. Four people I know bought hp's and all three went down so many times and were not able to be fixed. This could have been due to a bad batch of computers as they were all bought around the same time of the year. However, I have decide no hp's for me. What I would suggest, is decide what it is you will be using your computer for, how much memory you think you will need now and in the future. I would go with a dual core processor. I love having no lag when using more then two programs! If you go with less memory to save on money make sure it is expandable so you can upgrade to more memory in the future if you so desire. I went with 250 gb and have never got below 200 gb, but I know the memory is there if I need it. Decide a price range and then research the different computers online. I like going to circuit city and other sites to see what reviews others have give the computers or items I am thinking of purchasing. I probably do more research on a computer then I do a car. LOL!! Good luck with your purchase and let us know what you bought.

I hate Dell. All three of the ones I had were problematic. I would never buy another one. Maybe you could build yourself a computer? You get what you want that way, and I have a 10 yr old computer I built still running and being used daily by my parents.

this is a copy of my forum..did you do a search..I just started the same forum a few hours back:(-

I dont know what to tell you I have 3 dell computers and havent had any problem what so ever with them I have 1 desktop computer, and 2 laptop computers. I did call Dell support 1 time as I wanted to increast the memory I asked if I could buy it anywhere they said no problem and to call back if I needed help installing it. I am sorry to here about the problems everyone has had with there dell computers mine have worked like a champ. another good computer is an IBM computer. I use an IBM at work have had the same computer for 3 years now with out a problem. prior to that I had a different IBM computer an older modle and that computer is still working fine, but with the newer software it got slow.

Custom made PC's are better than Pre-assembled PC

DELL certain...

I have a Dell and a HP and I am having problem with my NEW Dell so right now I would have to say my HP is the best of the too. But the first Dell I had was great.

I am also an adept of do it your self. Only my first computer was pre-assembled, since then I have built my own computers. Bought the pieces all the magazines and websites where saying where good, assembled them, installed a Operating System and there you have it. A quality computer built by you. The thing is that you can buy the pieces you want, from where you want, nobody is bothering you or forcing you to buy this and that. At the end of the day, when something doesn't work you'll know where to look because you built it. Have a go on this one.

If you buy the pieces you will have great computer at your home or office, have a great day on mylot!

I have HP & trust me nothing better then this one. I did a long research before buying this notebook. By the way even Toshiba is nice but a bit expensive. So jus go for anyone of these two. Have fun.

I have a dell at work, and an eMachines at home. I prefer my eMachine!

yeah.I heard alot of complains with dell.What kind of problems do you have with it?Hardware or software?If you have software problems with it it's easy to fix but if it's hardware,try sending back to dell or if you don't have the warranty already,visit your local computer hardware store.

I have a dell too. I just got it last year for my birthday, it is a laptop. But before this, I had a reg. large computer but that was dell too. I have never tried another brand, I have had such good luck with this one. I always say, if there is nothing wrong, why change?

Gateway is good...if you can afford..Mac is a very high quality computer..I am using customize computer, it's pretty good and the case looks awesome

I have E-machine and so far in the 2 Years I have had it has been great no problems

i have an ibook and i love it i know that its not the best but for me its just fine

I have a compaq and so far it is ok. What kind of problems are you having? Maybe its a spyware thing or something. I know of a good site to check out your computer. They have tests that you can run and it will show how yours rate amoung others. Its pcpitstop.com

You can't see , That's the best (i don't know what kind of pc you want)

Dell sucks... Gateway is the way to go.

I just had a Dell for 2 days... brought it back... Gateway, Gateway, Gateway... I have no problems now...
