None. They all make overpriced [cabbage].
Maybe he doesn't know how to build a computer.
Personally I'd go with HP, very reliable.

HP just tried to hard to turn computers into eye candy, which is swell if you want something in say, your living room. But you could easily get the same specs from Dell much cheaper, without the glossy case. Acer has cheap computers, and a lowsy custom support, as well as using cheap parts. All in my experience at least. I'm still leaning towards Dell, since the government/U.S Military largely uses them, surely there's a reason behind that. Any of those brands are reliable though, it all comes down to preference and cost. If your looking for award winning customer support however, Apple is surely the winner.

Most companies make different quality of computers. For example, Dell and compact at least. Government gets good computers, they sell computers of lesser quality to people.
We've seen that in A+.
Also, as sloter, I hate dells, I see them break often too.

Agreed. I know someone with a Toshiba who has no problems with it. They also seem very sturdy.I would go for a Toshiba, we have supplied hundreds and they are the brand we see less of from a fault perspective. Also, when they do go wrong, parts are generally cheaper.

Had a PB computer from 98, which worked great (until the screen literally burned up in 2005).
Their support don't have a clue what you're talking about if you are getting a bit technical about things, and on the one we got atm i've had to disable alot of features (which freed-up about 100mb ram).
J'adore aussi le sexe et les snuff movies
Je trouve que ce sont des purs moments de vie
Je ne me reconnais plus dans les gens
Je suis juste un cas désespérant
Et comme personne ne viendra me réclamer
Je terminerai comme un objet retrouvé

Just avoid Packard Bell and Compaq!

So the computer died after 7 years of use? That's common with any brand of computer. (I don't care about peoples stories saying not true I've had the same HP for 10 years ect.)
I hate when people make these threads because it's all opinion and stories of a computer breaking from one person. You have no idea if the problem was a manufacturing defect or the person was an idiot. My cousin says HP computers suck because he dropped one down the stairs and it wouldn't work right after that. My school just replaced all the computers with HPs and we have had less helpdesk tickets than before. Both are true stories, but you see what I mean? I could cherry pick stories to make any brand look good or bad.
Just get the fastest computer you can get from any brand for your money.
