Best PC BRAND NAME?

Answer 1

hewlett packard...for best brand name

Answer 2

Custom built is the way to go, trust me-or not LOL. I'ved used Dell, HP, Gateway, Sony before, they're all the same if you know your computer inside out-all that is different are the name, stickers and junk software with their name on it.
Make a list of what you want you're computer to have and be able to do and tell them how you intend to use it and go to your local computer store, CompUSA, Microcomputer etc...they'll show you what you need and you can built it yourself or have them do it for you. Picking out the components that are right for you is the hard part, building it yourself is not that difficult. The biggest advantage of having a custom built pc is that you're not stuck with proprietary parts that are used in branded computer such as Dell and Sony, you can upgrade or replace components freely not having to worry about compatibility issues. Also your pc won't have all those junk bundle softwares that comes with those branded pc that we rarely or never use and eventually uninstall anyways, it all comes down to how comfortable you are with computers, if the task of building your own seems a bit intimitating then going for already built ones is by no means a bad thing, Dell, Sony, HP etc are great products-can't say the same for their customer services though...Guess I can't really blame the guy or gal on the line a world away in Bangalore, India, reading off a tech manual......just kidding, they're alright if your lucky and get the right person.

Answer 3

PCs with brand names are just that. PC companies are vendors that put components purchased from other companies into cases that have their names on it. That includes Dell. The best rated Computer boards are made by Asus. Dell uses Asus on some but I have also seen Dell use PcChips brand motherboards on some models which is a crappy motherboard and at the bottom of the feeding chain. Learn how to put a PC together with your own choice of components and build a PC that is composed of the best you can get instead of having a mystery machine with a big name on the case that doesn't really tell you the type of motherboard, processor, type/brand of memory, type of hard drive, type of cdrom or dvd, etc. Know what you are getting by selecting it yourself. I don't take chances on big brand names that sell junk along with their good stuff like all the big names do. Buying from Dell, Gateway, etc. is like buying the soup of the day at a greasy spoon. Michael Dell has diesel trucks lined up with components within a few hours of the selection of components to put out a certain model. Dell selects the components from Asian companies sometimes settling for whatever components he can dump on the public. This is a widespread way that the big PC named companies do business. You are gambling on what you get inside the case by trusting that they will use the best components and they sometimes use very cheap ones.

Answer 4

A PC is not like a car or clothes, etc... It is a container that houses name-brand equipment. When you buy a Dell, the only thing that is really a "Dell" is the case the computer parts are in, and the bill that says you owe them a few hundred dollars.

If you want to be REALLY happy with a computer purchase, go to a local computer shop and ask them what kind of computer they can build for you. Look up what Dell is selling, and ask the computer store owner what they can build for you (and if its cheaper).

You'll be much happier with a quality computer. You'll help your local economy, and best of all, when you're computer does break (and don't kid yourself, they always do) you'll have someone a few blocks away that will know your computer in and out. It beats Dell's Indian based dog-**** tech support. Trust me, Apu doesn't know jack about your computer!

Answer 5

Well my friend,

I suggest you to decide from two brands right now, they are Dell and HP.

You have to decide weather to have a very good hardware with a regular service (this is HP) or a Good Hardware with a very good service (this is Dell). If you have a Hardware failure, HP will last much longer than Dell to replace the hardware part; but it is clear that the HP hardware is better than Dell's. So you have to decide if you can wait many days to have your PC working again after a hardware failure with HP or have it working again in 24 hours with DELL. Notice that you'll have less hardware trouble with HP.

In my particular case, I prefer Dell, just because I use my PC for work, so I cannot wait many days in case of a failure to have my PC working again, but that doesn't mean that you have the same situation as mine.

Hope this helps, Regards.

Answer 6

Opinion of a service tech...

HP/Compaqs SUCK, big time. Dell, Gateway, etc. are okay, sort of. Depends on exactly what you buy (DO NOT try to go cheap, don't be fooled by the bundled 'deals', don't buy off-the-shelf, and then, expect to pay $200-500 more than it's really worth). Whatever you get, burn the warranty. Customer support is useless.

Only NAME brand I've NEVER had problems with is IBM/Lenovo (cross my fingers). I've had good luck with eMachines lately as well. They actually DO have some support.

Good, but not well known brands: Sys Technologies, ABS (expensive), Falcon Northwest, IBuyPower, ICN and, of course, Alienware.

Best bet: look for someone local and reputable and have him/her help you determine what you need and then build it for you. You'll get the exact components you want/need and nothing you don't want. And you'll know EXACTLY who to call for service if something goes wrong.

Second option: check out www.pcworld.com and/or www.cnet.com for the latest reviews. Then configure it yourself on the website.

Answer 7

Do not by brand name, build your own, then the brand name is your name. More importan, you will have what you want in it at the price you want to pay!

alienware is the best in my book. They only use good componets. Well hope this helped but look into having one built at a computer shop. It will cost less and you will be able to pick and chose the best componets.
