[QUOTE="Rydian, post: 3521425, member: 244492"] And here's my copy-paste on brands... [u]Brand doesn't matter as much as people want you to think it does.[/u] People generally blame brand for three things. [*][b]How well the computer runs.[/b] Dell and HP and Apple and other companies don't "build" machines, they "assemble" them. They take core parts (like the processor / ram / graphics card / harddrive) from other companies that make them, put it all together (with their own cases and accessories) and sell the completed package to you. If you ever take a computer apart, you'll notice that the company names on the parts vary widely. There's a few companies that make ram, a few that make processors, a few that make harddrives, and so on and so forth. So, for example, there's nothing that makes an HP processor better than a Dell processor... because there's no such thing. Dell and HP can both be using the same processors in their machines. So you can buy a Dell that kicks an HP's ass, and then turn around and buy an HP better than that Dell. A big part of how well a computer runs is the software installed on it (specifically the drivers and programs like that). [i]Most computer issues are software, have nothing to do with the brand itself, and can be permanently fixed with a little bit of effort.[/i] [url=http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/test-forum/general-computer-maintenance-information/t.42018459/]General Computer Speedup/Maintenance.[/url] That guide will show you how to properly fix most common computer issues, including slowdown, for free. [color=green][i]So if you want a faster computer, you should make sure to pick one with the right parts, and maintain it properly.[/i][/color] [*][b]How well the computer is physically built.[/b] You get what you pay for. If you buy a company's lowest-end model and find that the case is made out of cheap plastic, it's because you paid for cheap plastic. If you buy a higher-end model and get a sturdy metal case, that's because some of the extra price went towards a metal case.
