Which brand or type of computer is the best?

Answer 1

everyone uses intel/amd chips and basically the same parts anyways, they are all very similar. if you are even asking this kind of question, i am not sure you would be able to take advantage of the differences.

consumer reports magazine says that there is no clearly "reliable" brand of laptop. for desktops, they say its basically the same, with apple being very slightly, but not significantly more reliable.

if you don't know about consumer reports magazine, they review everything and buy the stuff with their own money. they do not accept donations and they don't have ads in their magazine. this is so they can say whatever they want about it and have an honest opinion.

Answer 2

For Mac, MacBook Pro is the best, followed by MacBook.

For Wintel machines, the best brands are Toshiba, Lenovo, Acer and Asus. The last one is for the Asian market, but they are less expensive but are just as reliable, or even more reliable than Western brands like HP and Dell - which you would want to stay away from because of flimsy hardware [Dell] and not so great matching of specs [HP].

Lenovo is a business brand so if youre using the laptop for officework, Lenovo is the brand for you. or better yet, a MacBook.

If youre after entertainment, all the other notebooks are alright, but the best would probably be Toshiba. Although it doesnt come with a remote like the iBook, it does have better built-in sound [Harman Kardon (sp?) speakers]; although you'd still want to plug it into a headset.

if youre after games, buy a desktop, or an Alienware notebook. Macs were not made for games.

Answer 3

I got a dell for a gaming computer 3 years back that had a real good deal on it and it hasn't gave me any problems and dell has good customer support but I've also seen hp and Sony have good computers so just check the hardware of the computer and other deals like monitors that come with it and such and also if the CD/DVD drive is made by Phillips theres a good chance it will mess up on you down the line.

Answer 4

For me it depends on how you intend to use it or for what purposes because each brand, type and model has its own strong and weak points. For example, you want a computer for audio/video recording and editing then a computer capable of excellent audio/video input/output and can render heavy loads of computer applications and files should be considered. Compatibility is another thing that needs to be considered. Higher specifications also mean higher cost but it doesn’t mean that an expensive one has that higher specifications.

Answer 5

I seriously disagree about Mac computers. I had a Mac, and I will NEVER go back to Mac.
I would choose a Dell or another customer AMD based computer like Acer.
I also had an Emachine which was a total waste, and the customer support was expensive and amateur.

Answer 6

MACs aren't computers. A computer is only as good as the OEM parts the brand uses.

Answer 7

rule out Dell, HP/Compaq, and Gateway. Look at anything else. If I had to buy a premade computer it would probably be systemax. I like to be able to fix my own computers.

Answer 8

Toshiba is the best brand of laptops in my opinion.

Answer 9

MAcS are making a serious impact these days.
I'd ahve one now if I could afford it. I have changed to all macs at work.

Answer 10

Macs. So much easier to use and rarely crash and give you stupid errors that make no sense
