I have a Dell now, it's a little over 3 years old. We just spent about $400 fixing it- that included removing viruses and something to do with a "heat sink". Now it is having problems again, seemingly heat related- it keeps turning itself off, and when we try to turn it on again, we get an alert about a fan problem and a thermal problem. The computer cost about $1,200 to begin with, so I'm hesitant to drop another $400 for repairs if this is going to be a recurring problem.
Can anyone recommend a computer that has lasted long and been reliable? It will be used by two grad students, so all we'll really need it for is writing papers, creating slideshow presentations for lectures, and connecting to the internet.
