Dell XPS is a great system. Alienware make better gaming machines...Gateway...they just plain suck.  gateway and e-machines merged a while back. Now its just a bigger company that sells crap computers.

Gateway\n\nI love my new E-Machine. Biggest bang for the buck.\n\nhttp://inktomi-cnet.com.com/eMachines_T6528/4014-3118_9-31826801.html?part=inktomi-cnet&subj=eMachines+T6528&tag=feed

Get a Gateway computer, i have one, they last forever and have the best help if something goes wrong. The price may be a bit high but its really worth it overall if you want to keep it for many years to come

Dell is fargin junk! Wait till you gotta replace a part on that cheap chit! You cant replace anything on it unless you buy the part from dell which costs a fortune. Dell parts are not interchangeable with other mfg parts. Dell support has gone downhill terribly in the past few years. Last but not least....that 270 dollar puter you just bought is about good for net browsing and nuthin else. If your a gamer forget it.The absolute best system you can buy is a custom built unit, tailored to your specific needs. In the long run it will last longer and wont be anywhere near as expensive! Especially if purchased from ME! If you ar contemplating on buying a new system, sit down and tell yourself what you expect from it to begin with. Write everything down on paper. You will be happy you did.

Yea dude, I was looking for a lap top that had a lot of memory and was super fast.  My tech guy at work said that I would need something that is suitable for gaming and if I wanted a laptop it would cost me about 2500-3000.  Instead I bought the latest model Gateway 2g hard drive, dual processor CPU for 800.  It's the shiznit.

I've had 2 Dell pc's with no problems, but I would recommend you looking at Velocity Micro.  They are very high quality and can be bought thru BestBuy or direct from Velocity Micro. A resource I have found very helpful is a site that rates vendors at http://www.resellerratings.com/seller2956.html\nyou will find ratings based on real users and for instance Dell has a rating of 3.47 and Velocity Micro is 8.58\nTake your time and enjoy the hunt.

Well I would say both are good brand right now for gaming laptops specially Dell XPS also has good tech. support after sales ( couple of my friends work for it ). Go for dell XPS M1710 they got 4 varients of it on basis of their design & hardware components.\n\nCheck out the link below for the range which suits your budget you'll really find'em awsome ( I'll suggest you to go for the one which says mulimedia powerhouse $ 2,794:\n\nhttp://www.dell.com/content/products/features.aspx/cto_xpsnb_m1710?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs\n\nYou can also check this one from alienware its called Aurora™ m7700 Mobile Gaming Powerhouse its for starts from $2,679 however one thing you should notice that dell gives you better configuration for the same price range.\n\nLike dell gives you 512 mb graphics card instead of a 256 on this one. Alienware has a bigger harddrive but wats the use if you wont enjoy most of your bulky high defination games.\n\nSo compare them and take a decision ( I say dell is better in this price range )\nCheck the link below for alienware :\nhttp://www.alienware.com/product_detail_pages/Aurora_m7700/aurora-m_features.aspx?SysCode=PC-LT-AURORA-M-7700&SubCode=SKU-DEFAULT\n\nI 'll suggest you to check this brand called Pro-Star as they are giving a lot more of inside stuff then other at the same range ( have'nt heard about their after sales support ) but its a mouth watery deal as far as the hardware is concerned. I want you to check this two models by them 9068-3A, 9068-4A the only diff. between 'em is the processor its AMD 4600+ & 4800+ for $ 2,629 & $ 2,679 ( not much of a diff. )\n\nhttp://www.pro-star.com/index.cfm?mainpage=productdetail&model=9068\n\nyou can try this one by gateway if you want your mom to have a bit of relaxation on the monetary side :\n\nhttp://www.gateway.com/products/GConfig/proddetails.asp?system_id=nx860xl&seg=hm\n\nI say you should read this review before you make a descision & hey take the pro-star seriously its a good deal :\n\nhttp://www.bizwaremagic.com/best_gaming_notebooks.htm

From personal experience, HP has always had great computers that always worked. Dell however I have always had problems with, they would always crash, or something would go wron with them. Gateway on the other hand I haven't used so I couldn't give you an opnion about them.\n\nReviewers would also agree somewhat on those 3 brands, PC World has done a review on desktop PCs. Of the 3 brands, HP comes out first, Then Gateway comes second, then Dell third. Gateway has a few PCs which are next to Dell or below Dell in the rankings. Overall, I would say HP is the clear winner.

Hard to suggest a good one unless I know what you are intending to use it for.  If it is for on-line gaming that is a different configuration then if it is for Internet research and college class work which would be completely different from AutoCad design work.\n\nBest thing to do is figure out what you want to do with it and approximately how much you are willing to spend.  Then check out the sites:\n\nwww.dell.com\n\nwww.ibm.com\n\nwww.gateway.com\n\nwww.hp.com\n\nThen price compare for what you want.

Most Dell computers come basically stripped of many drivers you will need to surf the net efficiently you may need to install java on your new Dell... they give you a good bargain on the computer components but they lack many items when it comes to the operating system :D I have had 3 Dell computers and have had to install java on all machines... go to http://java.sun.com/  and download their java and install it, its one of the fastest as far as java goes and you should be able to load the yahoo games and play them :D ;) another way is to go to the www.Dell.com  website and download missing drivers as you need them it took me a solid week to install all the drivers i needed.  Hope this helps!

Dell is about standard, but not my favorite.\n\nI'd have to say a home built one, made from individual parts. That way, if it outperforms the standard pc, and cost less, ya can't beat it!

Desk top computers are the way to go.  You will get a faster computer than a laptop at the same price.  Laptops are usually 1.5 times more expensive than the desktop conterpart in terms of specifications.  You are definiately paying for your portablity.  Laptops are good for home or office use.  They are not recommended for gaming.\n\nThe best overall desktop type of computer is an eMachine.  They are well built and are not expensive.  They even have a unique program that automatically fixes any erros that windows likes to give people that cannot be found on any other computer.  It is best used as a home, office, or internet computer.\n\nIf you are looking for a gaming computer, the best way is to build your own.  There are no "cheaper" brands that are really gamer friendly.  The best gaming computer would be Alienware.  They build computers specifically for gamers.  If you have the money, this is the way to go.\n\nHp is ok, and is usable.  Hp is more geared toward picture management, home video optimization, media, ect.\n\nDO NOT USE:\nCompaq\nDell\n\nThese computers are "cookie cutters."  They are produced en mass and are not well built.  The components that they use are not optimized for the computer.  Cheaper is not always better.  For example, the RAM is not fast enough to keep up the the CPU or vice versa.  And what I hear from other people, Dell's customer support sucks.\n\nVOTE TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 7TH!

looks ok it will rin great for a while but gateways have a tend of not lasting for a while, they tend to be good laptops and desktops for a bout a year or two maybe three, but after that they begin to freeze up easily and then there is no more hope for you. i suggest an hp the best dell next then mac and the acer and then toshiba. windows vista is the new version of windows coming out in the summer of 2007, it is going to be brand new but will require a lot of computer power to run it. windows vista capable means that when the new version of windows comes out you will be able to tun it on your computer, my suggestion: do not go with gateway yes they are affordable but do not last!!! hope i helped you.

This depends on what you want to do with the system. \n\nFor gaming, movies, pictures, or music, go with Windows Media Center. These computers are also equiped with hardware that most other computers don't have (e.g. a Tv tuner). However, the cost may be slightly more.\n\nFor advanced users and those demanding higher customization in their operating system, Windows XP Pro is good. Though in my opinion, you'd never end up using much of the features more than once if any. Though sometimes dell includes XP pro free of cost, otherwise, i'd say it isnt that useful.\n\nFinally, for basic home users who work on their school assignments, office papers, light gaming, watch a movie or two here and there, surf the web, etc, home edition is a good operating system to use.

Buy a Dell they have a better reputation.  PC's run XP, they no longer really come with MS-DOS or Windows 95/98 (which ran on top of MS-DOS) any more!
