I like dell, but I prefer HP.Hp's are fast and they dont cost that much, they've never let me down.But for a cheaper machine, stick with a dell. They're reliable and will save you a penny
i recently broke my laptop...it was an overpriced dell Inspiron 1150 (crappy) so i was having trouble finding a good company thats offering affordable computer with good graphics, and all that stuff for gaming and top of the line graphics. im currently saving up money to buy a new laptop im saving up 2000 dollars so far and the only thing i cant figure out is the company to buy from, so please help me out ive been suffering with a crappyy big fat laptop with A CELERON PROCESSOR! which sucks big time. so ya....... thanks for reading my post
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.
With the number of posts you have to your credit, I would think you know better than to post a 5 word reply. Since this is so out of character for you, I will overlook this one time. Verbal Warning only.
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.
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)
i use a HP computer...the model of the computer is a Pavilion 522c...i dont know much about dells but i dont kno much about hps either heh....so i cant really compare the two...but my hp seems to be fine i guess
Well I like dell. I'm not sure about Apple's quality but i thing there a really good computer also. i know someone that has a Inspiron and the only thing that went wrong so far was the dvd drive. so i'm not quite sure.
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.
Just a curiosity issue for me. I know that a lot of you are very young (at least compared to me), so
I imagine that some of the responses will be Pentium 3's or 4's. However, bringing back
memories of older technology is entertaining for me. So if you started "Back in the Good Ol'
Days" I'd like to hear what you started with. The first computer that I ever personally owned
was a Timex-Sinclair 1000. It was a small thing that hooked upi to a television for a monitor. The
base system came with 1K of memory. There was no such thing as a hard drive at the ...
I am wanting to save my money for a laptop computer, and I want to know what type/brand of laptop is
the best one, and will it work for years to come? /unsure.gif' border='0'

work, so I am not wasting money and something that won't work. I don't know of many laptop
computer brand names, I don't even know which one works the best because I have never owned a
laptop before. The only brand names that I know, that I think are good, are: Bell; HP; Gateway; and

I have a brand new computer running Windows XP 512 MB RAM, Compaq Presario 1.4Ghz Celeron. I am
connected to the internet with Comcast in Fremont. Web sites pages are slow to open up. The
performance problem occurs on many different sites, so I suspect the problem is on my end -- either
the computer or my internet connection. It often takes several seconds to open up a link. What
can I do to fix this? I am not one to be picky about speed, but net browsing is so slow that I
don't feel like using the computer any more. I've heard some people say that ...

Well, I tried to post this to the Programming Languages subforum, but it seems that I could only do
so in one of the subforums there... As this is not related to any particular language, I posted it
here (admins & mods, please feel free to move this to the right section, if this isn't it :))
So, on we go... Some of you may have already heard about computer programming exercises... Some
people create exercises and post them on the web, and other people solve them... It's fun, and

I have been running with a: Pentium 4 1.5GB of RAM 80GB Hard Drive Intel Extreme Graphics 2
Integrated Sound Card Windows XP Home for just over 3 years now and this problem that occurs on
occasion, has happened again. The problem occurs randomly either when the computer is on/off but
when I start using it the problem is easily noticed. The computer starts running a lot slower than
usual and everything I try to perform hangs/lags, when i play music it isnt streamed smoothly like
normal instead it chops so where someone would say "Hello" it would come out as "Heh eh el ...
Ok here is the problem. My computer is restarting by its self. I have run many many different virus
scanners and spyware, nothing. It only restarts in two situations: 1) Right after startup, when the
network connection status icon apperas in the task bar 2) Whenever a network connection is
establushed, so If i restart my router, my pc restarts too, also when connection to Hamachi , VPN
software.. This is getting very annoying, My pc needs to be on 24/7 because of certain things, but
It lokes to restart itself I have an AMD Athlon XP 2300+ 2GB RAM nVIDIA GeForce 6600G...
I have read in a lot of forums about the importance of this component. And with regards to my
problem of the computer restarting while playing games, this could very well be the reason but I
can't confirm anything. When I bought my graphics card Winfast A6200 TD, a minimum of 400w
output was needed from the psu and that was I had. But is the psu actually causing the problem of my
computer restarting? That the psu does not have enough power to handle the functions of the graphics
card? I was playing PES 6 (Pro Evolution Soccer 6) and everything seemed fine until i...
Hi, it's my birthday at the beginning of May (8th), and I expect to get roughly £250 or
$500. I was wondering if anyone knows of any what-you-would-call good deals on a computer.
However, if you do find any, it would be preferrable they were located in the UK (so no shipping),
if they are in the US, for example, remember shipping to the UK. Anyway, I want as a minimum of
Dual Core Proccessor (2 giga hertz) 150GB/160GB HD 1GB Ram XP/Vista or no Operating system and a
decent graphics card that will play most games Obviously these are minimum, so anything bette...

I recently got a new computer, a NEC i-Select D5410. A few days ago it started to randomly crash,
and all inputs and outputs were cut. The monitor displayed "No Signal", the keyboard and mouse
stopped working and the speakers cut out, yet the power light remained on, and the fans were still
spinning. Opening the DVD and CD drive still worked, so it isn't a power or mobo failure, as far
as I am aware. In an attempt to remedy the problem I have moved the computer into a more open area
to try and improve air flow, as I belive the problem is overheating or lack of air c...

The fastest computer on Earth just got a whole lot faster. According to data gathered by the Top500
list (www.top500.org), IBM’s Blue Gene/L supercomputer, which runs at the Lawrence Livermore
National Laboratory in California, has dramatically extended its lead over competitors by achieving
speeds of 280.6 trillion floating-point operations per second (teraflops)—more than double the
136.8-teraflop speeds the system clocked in June. The achievement, along with other advancements
from supercomputers in the U.S., mark the completion of a ten-year to develop supercompute...

should I go for? I like Visual Basic, but that is required, I was thinking Java, C++, and one

I do. I mean this is basically what I do on my computer. Listen to music (winamp) Check my email go

I can't start up my computer. When I switch it on, it just goes to a blank screen, or sometimes,
it will go to the Blue Screen of Death, and the message on it changes every time, so I don't

What do you think of the widescreen display laptops are beginning to adopt nowadays? Is that the
right way to go? Or should we stick to our original display (800 * 600, 1024 * 768 ... etc) instead
of (1280 * 800). For me I think these widescreen display should be the way to go, it allows you
more space to do your stuff especially if you are doing some image editing, and that requires a huge
amount of resolution size. There is an argument whereby you can increase your resolution to make it
tinier so that you can have more space but then again, the problem with making the...
