Who doesn't make good computer systems?

Question

I'm looking for a new computer system and i get a long list of who i shouldn't get like dell, hp,gateway,compaq, and still nobody has heard of Asus. TEll me who i should avoid buying and who does make great systems i should buy. Thanks.

Answer 1

Acer are generally rubbish, Compaq are also not particularly good. To be honest it depends on the parts that they use and the operating system installed.



Intel and nVidia tend to make higher-end and more.. Compatible graphics cards and processors than AMD and ATI.

Answer 2

Everybody has probably had a bad experience with some computer company. For me, I've always purchased Toshiba for notebook computers, because they have always been reliable for me.



Acer is considered a cheap brand and, while it has improved over the last few years, I personally would not buy this brand for notebooks based on experience. Gateway was purchased by Acer a few years ago and so I generally put this brand in the same category, in the same way that Ford buying Jaguar cheapens that brand of cars. I have a Gateway desktop (made by Acer) and find it reliable enough but it does have some peculiarities which I'm not sure are attributed to Vista or the computer itself.



Asus are at the top of the netbook category so I don't think you can go wrong with them if you're looking at a netbook.

Asus makes motherboards, which is the best motherboard to have on the market. Dell is propriety hardware, so anything you want to upgrade you would have to upgrade through Dell, which means you are limited. HP bought out Compaq, and ever since they have done nothing to improve Compaqs, and they were never good to begin with. HPs are not much better, performance wise. Your best bet is to go into a computer store and tell them you want them to build you a computer with an Asus motherboard and Intel processor.

Answer 4

Every company has bad models. Likewise, most if not every company have their dependable models. I think you have to look at it more in terms of a model-by-model comparison; a daunting task indeed. In February, I spent many long hours comparing laptops that would give me the best bang for the buck. Although I was never a Gateway fan, I ended up buying a MD7818u ($675) and it has proven to be a very good decision. It had the same if not better features of other laptops costing much more. As far as desktop computers, I have always built my own from highly rated individual components. The best advice I can give would be to READ AS MANY CUSTOMER REVIEWS AS POSSIBLE. Best Buy and NewEgg are good sources for shopping and reviews. Whatever you decide, I strongly recommend Intel processors over AMD if you plan to multitask (more than one program running simultaneously).

Answer 5

Brand almost doesn't matter it's build Quality that matters, but lately instead of improving there product lines the large International brands have gone as cheap as possible. I really would not suggest any, and I repeat any Big Name Brands Today, After the smoke clears at the end of the world recession You will see only a few that survived, and those will be worth buying but as of now I have to say avoid all BIG NAMES.

Now with that being said you have several Smaller Names that only have the Quality of there BUILDS to stand buy with companies such as BuyXG.com but with these Smaller names you get extra quality and longer warranties for superior products.

You should also consider building yourself a system you only need a Screw driver and very little know how which you can easily get help with at places like Techpowerup.com or Overclock.net Tech Geeks love to help and can even post Pics with step by step directions, heck they can even find what parts you will need after you determine your budget,` just a thought...The system I'm on now is one that I built, if I were to buy a system that equals this one I would have to spend $2500 and all I spent to build thiis system was $1300 that's almost 50% savings that's not typical but 30% savings is...just thought i'd throw it out there

Answer 6

This is a warning from the FALCOM (Federal Association of Lethal Computer Manufacturers. Manufacturers including Dell, Gateway, HP/Compaq and ASUS have been reported of infecting their users with the H1N1 Influenza (Swine Flu), whom have died shortly afterwards. Recent testing has shown that the only "safe" manufacturers are Apple Co. and Chevrolet. Please avoid all other computer manufacturers at ALL COSTS. This has been a warning from FALCOM.

Answer 7

I'd go AMD and ATI for the best price-performance ratio, as their stuff is generally cheaper and better performing. For example, an AMD Phenom II X4 955 performs as good as any Intel quad-core for less money. I would look for a lot of different brands if you're making your own, such as Gigabyte, Asus, OCZ, Corsair, Kingston, Sapphire, Diamond, XFX, EVGA, ASRock, and others I can't currently think of. Hope this helps, good luck!
