    I'll repost my opinion of Dell from another post I did...


    http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthre...highlight=dell
    I'd never buy a Dell anything again. When I got this cpu I specifically asked several of the online sales people if I could get software tech support. They all emphatically said YES but that it would cost me an additional $100. I'm like ok, so I paid the additional $$, my invoice simply said 'telephone tech support'. So the first time I ran into a software problem with the OS I call. I get told the additional money I paid out was ONLY for HARDWARE support. If I wanted software support I could call a number, give my credit card, and get help via a per minute charge!!!

    I've never had problems like that with the old Gateway I had for years, and believe it or not STILL has software support on a Win. 98!! They never give me static and have always been helpful, even if I can't always quite understand the accent of the tech person. lol

    I do have a older iBook (Not the clamshells, after that) and it is good, but it is a pain to type on with my fingers used to a Desktop sized aircraft carrier keyboard.

    I have a Dell for the windows base programs that I need to run. I have a MacBook which I prefer to use for internet, etc. as it is much faster.

    I have an HP Pavilion. I LOVE IT! I got a great deal on it. It's super fast and has yet to let me down. The only things that could improve are battery life (but I guess with any laptop that eventually becomes an annoyance), and XP instead of Vista (but that's not really their fault either...) :P

    I'll also re-post what I said in another recent thread.

    I've had a macbook for a year and a half now, and I've never had any problems with it, ever. Ok, well, I filled up the memory on it but I have a LOT on it. Also, if you let it go past the "reserve battery" message until you run out of battery, it has to sit quite a while before it comes to life again, but other than that I've never had any problems at all with it. It starts up really quick.

    I've had my MacBook for over 2 years and never had any problems with it. My husband has a 4 year old PowerBook that still runs perfectly.

    The only "problem" I've ever had was storing my thousands of pictures. It got to be too much so now I don't keep them on my laptop, I keep them on my husband's MacPro. If that became an issue you could keep them on an external drive though.
