wrote: what computer brand is best?? The December 2011 Consumer Reports survey of computers bought from 2008-2011 listed these failure rates (differences of less than 3% are statistically meaningless): Laptops: 9% Apple 10% Acer, Toshiba 11% Lenovo, Gateway, HP 12% Sony, Compaq, Dell Desktops: 7% Apple 11% Compaq 12% Dell, Acer 13% HP 17% Gateway I'd rather buy a computer according to the quality of customer service and tech support. You should phone tech support before making any purchase, to tell if the employees actually know the products or merely type questions into their own computer and read answers off the screen. Toshiba is one of the worst for that regarding hardware questions, and you have to talk with 3rd level support to get somebody knowledgeable; OTOH their software support is good. Also check company websites for availability of information because the amount varies widely, with Apple, Lenovo, Gateway, HP/Compaq, and Dell providing a lot, while Sony and Toshiba are really skimpy. For laptops I'd probably prefer Apple, Lenovo, or Dell, and for desktops probably Dell, although they use nonstandard motherboards and cases. If you're going to build your own desktop, the best motherboards may be Asus or Gigabyte, while the best memory modules are anything made with chips whose actual manufactuer (Samsung, ProMos, Nanya, Elpida, Hynix, Micron, PowerChip, Winbond) can be identified by the logo or part number printed on the chips. But the only ways to be assured of getting such chips is by looking at the modules before purchase or by choosing Samsung or Crucial modules. For power supplies, check JonnyGuru.com , but the best manufacturers are Enhance, Zippy-Emacs, and Win-tact, probably followed by Delta and Fortron-Source/Sparkle. These are sold under many brands, including PC Power & Cooling, Corsair, and Antec. |
