what new computer should i buy and i don't want a mac?

Answer 1

Yeah, I don't like Macs either. I hate how they can host OSX, Windows, and Linux. And they're too fast. Plus when I have a program crash I want the whole system to require rebooting. Also, Macs are so rude: they hardly ever let viruses, spyware and trojans in. And if they do come in, Macs won't let them touch anything. Snobs!

Being able to go to an Apple Store to meet face-to-face with a computer expert is such a drag too. I like calling my Dell reps thousands of miles away. It's kind of like taking a mini-vacation.

Get a Dell or a HP or anything else besides a Mac. Make sure it comes bundled with Vista too. Windows ME was way too fast.

Answer 2

The best computer to buy is the one that is not the highest price! As a computer technician myself, I would have to recommend e-machines or HP's. I have an e-machines, I have had it since 2004 and not 1 single issue from it at all. If you know any computer professionals-not in sales-ask them, they might tell you the same! Just make sure you buy one that has not been refurbished of any kind or one that you have to make payments on. Why no payments? Because when you make payments it will only irritate you when you have to take it back and wait 2-4 weeks for it to be fixed, yet you are still making those payments for the time you didn't have it! And plus, ever wondered why some companies offer sooo much support? It is certainly not because there customers don't need it!

Answer 3

This is a vary vague question. We would need more information to be able to give you a rational answer. What and how, do you intend on using the computer? Are you looking for a laptop or desktop? If a laptop, do you want a desktop replacement or an ultra portable? What feature sets are important to you, that are must have? What is your budget? Without knowing any of this, I would tell you to go purchase a Voodoo (owned by HP), Falcon Northwest or a Polywell for $11,000. But a good reasonably priced PC can be had purchase for around $1500 from HP, Lenovo or Cyberpower. All of these options are much better then anything made by Dell, Acer, eMachines/Gateway (same company) or Alienware (owned by Dell).

Building your own is good but if you don’t know how, don’t attempt it. HP seems to be a great choice. Few weeks ago I bought a HP A6050Y and it is working great. Perhaps the best thing about HP is their support. I have been emailing HP total care for some spec on the PSU and after a few messages they give me the perfect response. Some computer companies takes forever to respond to your question and at times, ignore them completely.
Many people are trash talking Dell computers but my step-dad, who recently bought a new Dell workstation, think they’re all wrong. He has been using various Dell products all his life and has never complained about it. He said that Dell computers are solid looking and performs well. So when it comes to Dell, I would trust his judgments. The downside to Dell is that I find their computers a bit overpriced especially the XPS.
If you know a bit about computer hardware, go with the Cyberpower PCs. Cyberpower literally lets you customized every aspect of the computer and the price is quiet reasonable. Although Cyberpower specialize in gaming PCs, you can customize it into an everyday work computer.

Answer 5

It really depends on what you want from your computer, there are Many options available for a miriad of possible configurations. Having a good idea of what you want to do with your computer will determine just what you need, and What it will cost. Getting a custom built computer is the best way to get what you need without having all the other Crap on it that most companies package with a computer.

Answer 6

i've got been around computers for too some years. as quickly as some time past while i became youthful and the dinosaur nevertheless walked the earth computers have been whats spoke of as proprietary. That meant the producer equipped the hardware and the OS and a number of of the purposes. the advantages have been; maximum computers have been purely utilized by utilising companies and that they needed one throat to choke i.e. while it went incorrect the producer fixed despite difficulty there became. the disadvantage became sluggish utility progression and that they've been VERY costly. Then alongside got here the IBM laptop that used an OS from a enterprise spoke of as Microsoft. IBM threw open the hardware shape so as that businesses could desire to construct interfaces yet they only equipped the finished ingredient instaed, computers became greater low priced, proprietary became a grimy notice and all the companies died or have been given bought up by utilising laptop manufacturers. Apple survived (basically) by utilising working in a area of interest industry for image layout type markets. What they specialized in became no longer the suited hardware tech, yet integrated utility like the previous days and great utility function yet they only basically scraped by utilising. Then got here the IPOD, they did no longer genuinely invent the MP3 participant, yet their one appeared great beautiful and you could desire to acquire music from their internet site and as regular it had imaginitive functionalty. The Ipod gave them money to take a place in R&D and the main important ingredient approximately their products is they look good and that they carry out their limited function nicely. they at the instant are not genuinely that nicely equipped thinking the cost, yet they look outstanding, in an era while human beings do no longer purely want a 'me too' laptop. It was once that there have been very few viruses for Macs as a results of fact the consumer base became so small yet they're being increasingly greater attacked by utilising the criminal ingredient as extreme cost objectives, i.e. mac vendors are many times greater suited off than laptop vendors. Mac's are good yet no longer in all risk extremely genuinely worth the money for customary shoppers, while the Ipad got here out i presumed that'll never take off despite if it did and that i now own one as a results of fact as quickly as returned i like the function.

Answer 7

My personal preference is building one, if for any reason I couldn't/wouldn't, HP would be my only other choice.

The most popular major PC manufacturer isn't the best.
I bought a Dell several years ago and it was problems out of the box. I called tech support, after waiting nearly 40 min on the phone I got an immigrant who could barely speak English, and ended up hanging up on me.
I returned it the same week and since then build my own.

Good luck on your choice.

Edit: BTW, its nice to see that not all fall for the 'cool' TV Ads
