People all say that Compacq and Gateway make really bad computers compared with Dell or Toshiba, but why there are still someone would like to choose them?

Some people say that Dell laptops suck. Others say that Sony laptops suck. Since both of those brands have been shipped with exploding batteries, I would avoid BOTH of those.
I have owned both Gateway and Compaq. Both were great. But right now, I would recommend a Toshiba. My 2nd choice would be HP.
Good luck and Happy Computing!

I have a gateway, and it really isn't that bad of a comp. hardware wise I have never had a problem with it.
but software wise, i had some virus's a few times, and i had reinstall windows once, but thats ok, i blame that on windows and the software, not the computer.
Compaq is bad because you really have to be a techy if you wanna fiddle around with the inside and upgrade it etc, its designed to be small so its hard to add hardware etc. i hate em personally.

My Gateway, which I am using now, has actually worked out very well for me. I used to have a Compaq, however, that was a piece of junk and always overheated.

Everyone has different tastes. and some people have had these manufactures before and just like them, no matter what other people say.

Because not everyone does investigation in to the different brands.

They are cheaper - like anything else in life, not everyone is prepared to pay for quality
