I have had lots of experiences with different brand computers and the best one I found was to be DELL…it great really…but thats my opinion.
Hp usually is the best quality, though if you want to stay with Compaq, it doesn’t matter; Hp bought out Compaq a few years ago.
That’s much like asking what the best brand of car is. It is highly subjective and depends on what you want in a computer.
If you’re more of an enthusiast, or gamer, then you’re going to want a computer with a lot more power and typically, higher end components then you’re going to get from mainline brands like Dell, Compaq or HP. In this case, look at custom built PCs from places like CyberpowerPC, or at the high end, FalconNorthwest. Or, my personal preference, build your own. It’s actually quite easy.
If you’re just a general user, then it really comes down to price and customer service. The components in standard level machines from almost all makers are very similar, so unless you’re looking at a component by component level upgrade, you won’t notice any difference in performance between any of them. I used to like Dell for basic computers, but they’ve been falling off a bit lately in service and raising prices. This is of course, my own opinion.
Really, no i brand is better than the other. For most people it is all about the costumer service.
None of them. They all but their processors from intel and Amd, graphics cards from AMD, Intel and nvidia and use generic motherboards and ram. All the brand means is what sticker is on the box.
Im afraid the only way to get the most for your money is to look at all the individual models you can find in your price range and see what gives you the most for your money. Or consider buying the parts and making it yourself. Its pretty much impossible to do it wrong, you get more for your money and you learn enough about your computer to be your own tech support.
There really is no best brand. It all depends on what you want and what you expect from it. If you just want to go out and get a computer at bestbuy instead of building it yourself (which i recommend), then HP is the way to go. Dell and Gateway have been selling junk the past year or so.
What you really want to look at are the specs. Wether you want an Intel or AMD processor and how fast do you want it. How much RAM does it have. How much hard drive space.
If you’re just the average user. An Intel Dual Core with 2.66 Ghz, 4 GB Ram, 320 GB hard drive, nvidia geforce 8600 graphics card (optional). Get all that and you’ll be set for the next 5 years. It should all cost around 800 dollars.
