Maybe like another dell or something, I love dell. Best comp company I know of, good prices and advanced technology. And well, I made my own computer... If you want to customize always go for that. Buy parts of the net and put things together. Let your imaginations come to life, Plus its the cheapest out of buying anything is putting it togetehr yourself.

I've got a Dell Inspiron 8500 3 years ago. It's working fine still now and working fast. I've been playing Warcraft 3 on it, without much system lags. Doom3 wasn't a problem as well. It has a embedded GeForece 4 graphics card, and 512 RAM. It's running on Pentium 4M processor. Everything works great.

I guess you had chose a wrong medel of computer from Dell. A celeron processor wasn't meant to play games. More often, Dell made that laptop for mobile office use. That's the reason it's the cheaper computer in Dell's laptops range. In future when you are buying a new computer, do check out it's specifications first before buying. You wouldn't want to buy another office computer to play your games. Definately it will be crappy, for all brands of computers.

For me, it's Dell.

Apple.

My iBook is almost 4 years old now and it's time to replace it. I am waiting for more software to be released on MacOS Intel before spending the money. I really need for the Pro Apps and Office to be ported to OSX-intel before I spend the money. Also, I know better than to purchase a first generation Apple product.

If you can wait, I'd suggest waiting about another 6 months and getting a MacBook Pro. Especially now since there is a hack to get Windows XP to install on a machine. Now you'll be able to run MacOS or Windows if you need to all on one machine without having to use emulation since they are both using the x86 architecture. (Even though the Mac uses a different abstraction layer)

Hey hey.. I like this sig with powerful words. I've visited your site and I'd say there's much more to improve on the interface. I'm surprised to see that the request form I've done was on your site as well. You will need to add on more stuffs and information about your work. Testimonials will be preferred.

Anyway, good job and wish you luck on your custom PCs..

Dell are really good but if you do not like Dell then I strongly recommend that you look at a Toshiba laptop. There are many review sites on the net, try www.tomshardware.com I have looked there many times before buying any PC hardware, even then they review more than just PC gear. Take a look and you'll have more information than you may need.
