I just made this poll because i am interested to see other people's opinions on which cpmputer brand is the best, if there are any other brands that i have missed, please leave a comment.
As one who never pays for computers but finds them dumped (preferably by businesses because they're usually newer) I have to favour Dell.
Dell's Service Tag (attached to every computer) means you can look up the spec and drivers for a machine instantly. I particularly liked their old Pentium2 and 3 Latitude laptops because they sold well, so spares were abundant. They were strongly built and relatively easy to dismantle and reassemble.
For laughs I like my friends' Apple equipment because it cost them a fortune and most have no idea how to fix issues when they arise -- keeps me in beer.
I think each of these brands has a speciality. Alienware for games. Dell for bang-for-the-buck, and Apple for pure (but more expensive) quality. Sony for multimedia, which matters most to me 😀
