First, it was my fridge. Then my hard drive went out. Then my water heater went out. Now my motherboard is out. Screw it. I'm buying a new computer. What manufactured computers have you all had luck with and recommend? I built the last one, but I'm not going there this time. I don't have the money!

Geez Maria! I'm so sorry - you're right, if it's not one thing it's another - it never seems to end, does it?

Well I know a lot of people on here swear by MACs. But I bought an HP when I got my computer (1 year ago) It's awesome. I love it - I've had no problems and it's still going strong and fast...

that really sucks - computers can be such a pain. my first recommendation is always a mac, but i know some people are really averse to them. after that, i'd say go with toshiba - all my PC friends swear by them.

I know what you mean about not having the money. I use the computer at the local library.

Maria, I wish you weren't such a whiner.


JK. That really sucks. We have a Dell, but it's no better or worse than anyone else's I've heard about. Most people I know just go for whichever one has the best rebate/deal at Cirtcuit City or Best Buy & they seem to do just fine.

HEY! Check with the school you're going to. If they have an IT/computer dept. they can often get you computers at a great price.

I have a Mac and I love it. It's SO easy to use, it requires next to no software, and it never has any problems. Plus, it won't pick up a virus either.

That's what I did Well sort of - I didn't look for the best deal - but I looked for the the cheapest computer that offered everything I need. And I've not been disapointed...except for the evil printer that tells me it's out of paper when it's not. That I could do without...

Just stay away from eMachines! Unless they've improved since the last time someone I know bought one....

I have to recommend Mac as well.

I used to love Dell comps, but have grown to hate them.

I have a Dell at home. After a month, it runs at about the same speed as my grandmother.
