Avoid HP computers

[EBR Works]

I have sold and deployed hundreds of HP Business Desktop and laptop units over the past 4 years and my clients have been very pleased with their reliability and performance. That being said, their consumer machines definitely have issues.

Asus makes good laptops, and they look nice too!

Sheesh. Let's see if we can get agreement on something else.....blond, brunette, or redhead?

Ford, Gm, or Dodge?

9mm, .40, or .45?

Does anyone have any issues with Alienware other than price?
How good are their laptops?

[locosway]

Alienware kinda sold out when Bestbuy picked them up. I can't say enough good things about Dell laptops personally.

Honestly, things break, it's part of life. What you want to look for is a company who will back their broken product and make it right.

Alienware was bought by Dell a while back.

Yep, and I really like Dell's support.

If you want a GREAT laptop, buy a Toshiba. Hands down one of the best consumer grade laptops on the market.Theres my .02

Beg to differ. Example: Toshiba Qosmio. My wife's dead Qosmio is still sitting in the box out in the garage. Integrated video board failure - a "known failure" - that Toshiba refused to fix or replace.

Toshiba can kiss my glutei. That's why I have a Dell.

Interesting. I'm typing this on my 4.5 year old Toshiba Qosmio G25 laptop.

I also had a video failure (actually IIRC it was the LCD) after two years, but luckily I had the extended service plan from bestbuy that covered the fix. Paid for itself right there. New battery was bonus.

Did a RAM upgrade to 2 gigs as well, but other than that she's running great. I even run Civ 4 on her (yep, still addicted to that game). Not many laptops that can run Civ 4.
