Dell... My family has owned two Dell's. I had to RMA my speakers Altec Lansing ADA885s 5 days before the warrenty was up. Which they gladly replaced for free
Compaq... We have owned 2 laptops from them, and they have been great. Despite the fact that using the 333 laptop is slow as shit now... I still like 'em.
Toshiba, I've repaired about 6 of these. They're easy to work with, roomy cases. The only problems I've ever seen with them are the HD's shit the bit... but that's not their fault.
HP, I just hate their bubble cases.... Comp Tech nightmare....
Acer! Sucks a big fat ______ Had 2 of em. yeck
Gateway's are just overpriced Dells, not tuned for performance... I really don't like them.
I'll definatly agree that Sony/HP make cool gagits, as for their computers, I don't know.
