What BRAND of COMPUTER are you happy with?
« on: April 05, 2013, 08:02:33 am »
This is my 2nd Dell Laptop and I am just as unhappy with this one as my first one, I wasn't going to buy another one, but decided to give Dell a second chance.....had to have 3 motherboards put in my first one along with other problems, now this second one I am using has had to have 1 motherboard, 2 replacements of hard drive, along with multiple issues with wireless accessories, system operations restoring, etc....Please tell me your experiences with your computer and if you like or dislike Please!!  Thanks

I had a Dell Inspiron, which I bought in 2002 and it still works, but is SLOW.  Had to replace the hard drive and the battery.  Now I have an HP Pavilion which I love, very fast, lots of memory and great graphics.  Sorry to hear about your problems with Dell.   :peace:

I am using a really old DEll Dimension right now. It has been a good one so I will probably stick with that brand for my next one also. That is one of the reasons I do surveys so I can afford a new comp. shortly.

I am using a hp laptop that I bought three years ago and it's still working like new. Now I am not a computer savvy type of person but I know that it has worked and performed all the tasks that needs to be done and I have no complains whatsoever. Now on the other hand, I don't know what a "mother board" is and hopefully my hp doesn't need any replacing soon on something like that. That's my experience with this hp laptop.  :thumbsup:

I've got an HP laptop and the screen is coming off and the battery is crap lol. But I've had it for a couple of years and dropped it twice. My family and I share a Dell desktop (that we've had to replace 3 times already). I'm sort of wary of Dell computers. Some are good, some aren't.

I like the DELL Models. I had two Dell Laptops. I bought a Dell 5150 back in 2004 and it is still being used by my Grandson. I now have the Dell Inspiron and am completely satisfied with it, had it since Nov 2010. In my Opinion the dell models are very dependable and durable.

I have had good experiences with my last two laptops - both Toshibas that I bought on sale.  They work well, but only for about 4-5 years.  For many of us, that is probably about the time we are ready to upgrade anyway.

I have had multiple Dell's in the past and could not be happier with them.  I buy the cheaper version of the laptops as that is all I really need.  For whatever reason Dell stopped making their cheap version so recently I got a HP and I am not happy with it at all.  I will go back to Dell for sure when it is time for me to get a new one.

I do my best to put my own computers together.  I don't like pre-builts, like Dell or HP.  They come with too much JUNK and BAGGAGE running in the background, not to mention that most everything is on the motherboard and if something goes, oh well, there goes your computer.  I would much rather pick each component of my computer myself (the sound card, the motherboard, the video card, etc.)  This way, I'm getting EXACTLY what I'm looking for and not someone else's idea of a computer.  I always turn off unnecessary services running in the background.  The more you have running in the background, the slower your computer will be.  I baby my computers the best I can.  Always have anti-virus and other software to help with malware, etc.  I clean-up and defrag the hard drive and then I'll run DskChk to correct any possible errors on the hard drive.  I learn as much as I can about my computer and it's operating system to do the things myself that other people pay good money for when something goes wrong.  I've helped my friends and family members figure things out when they didn't have a clue what was wrong.  I guess I'm doing ok!  My old dinosaur (over 10 years old) is still up and running and I haven't had a problem with any of my choices of hardware.  Right now, I'm looking forward to an upgrade - a completely new PC - but I'll certainly have to look in to what it's going to cost because I don't pick crap, LOL.

For laptops I've had a Thinkpad and an HP.  Hate the HP and really, really miss the Thinkpad.

I think Acer is okay too. I've had an Acer laptop before and liked it a lot better than my HP. Too bad someone dropped it and ruined the screen and I ended up getting the HP laptop I have now (was cheaper than the repair).
