I am planning on getting a new computer, and need some advice on what kind is the best.

What is the best brand of computer to buy?
I recommend HP. Dell is good, but trust me, customer service for Dell sucks. Of course I think that this Dell customer service problem is partly because of the customer who does not understand the difference between system problem and Windows Operating System problem.
Reply:You should strongly consider a newer macintosh that has the intel core duo processor. These new models will run both MacOS and WindowsOS, providing the best of both worlds. In addition you get the impeccable world class quality of apple hardware which, until now, was only available to people that were willing to forego windows operating system.

Reply:my prefrence is sony vaio. hp would be second, followed by toshiba, fujitsu.
Reply:well that is a very personal choice...hence the big mac vs pc debate. I'm a mac girl personally. But I work on both, and have used many different types.





I would stay away from Gateway, compaq, and HP. Better options are Sony, Dell's, or IBM computers IMO. But there are cheaper offshoot brands I know nothing about. Also for a PC, you may want to consider custom.





Before you buy, figure out your needs. Do you need mobility? Is a laptop best for you? Or do you only want a Desktop for your office? What types of things are you doing w/ your computer? Is it for business only? School/college? Internet, Photos, Music?





If you have never owned a computer before, and are not very savvy on either OS (xp, or mac OSX), I would suggest going w/ OS X - it is MUCH easier to use, very intutive, and offers much more fun and creative tools...MORE creative people go w/ a mac. *If you are also looking for something more reliable, and something more long lasting, a mac is your answer - there are many to choose from, and I'm sure one would fit your needs. If your not sure, go to a mac store and see for yourself!
