My experience with computer brands:
Dell: Excellent
Sony: Excellent
HP: Good
Acer: Bad
Asus: Bad

I use a Compaq for one of my servers. You get what you pay for and for 270 bucks I am happy with it. Compaq FTW in 1999!!

So far I only love my eMachines desktop. The performance could be a little higher, but it doesn't heat up too much. My Vista laptop is a Compaq. That thing heats up easily. :thumbdown: And for the HP laptop I got with Windows 7 last Christmas, it runs awesome with performance but like the Compaq laptop, can heat up easily.

Acer is really good for me with no problems since i purchased it in mid march, especially with 6GB of 116GB used.

I don't know that I care for Dell computers. What really sold me with the laptop that I bought was the touch screen control panel. It is so neat to only have to touch a spot above my keyboard and turn down the audio right then and there. Only HP computers have that from what I have seen, and I haven't seen it on Dell.

I have. My friend has a laptop from Dell that does the exact same thing. Pretty cool...but it's just candy to hide the :censored: computers Dell makes. And IMO, HP is only good with printers. And they're not WONDERFUL in that aspect, either. When I get the money, I'm buying the (at least 15") MacBook Pro.

I don't really like Macs that much anymore. I only have an eMac for work related purposes.

I've had my Toshiba laptop since I bought it last March, I never had problems technically (except for the virus problem back in Sept.), and when my AC Adapter broke, the representatives were very nice (by phone) in showing me which adapter was compatible with my laptop.

I heard HPs and DELLs are bad, and I was told to stay away from them. I'm thinking of buying another laptop soon, so I'm still sticking with Toshiba.

Today is my last day online before the move, so I want to wish you all a great weekend and start of the summer season!  Please wish me luck over the next few days.  I hope to be back at the end of next week when I'm mostly settled.

Well I certainly hope the move is easy and goes well for you. Just keep in mind while you are carrying boxes, or waiting for that Comcast guy to come, that you got a job! :P :clap:

I'm taking my little sister to the movie theatre to see Toy Story 3 tonight. To be honest, I am much more excited than she is, because I grew up watching the series. I still have both movies when they first came out on VHS. I'll let y'all know how it went when I come back. :)
