Laptop reliability

I own an Acer, and they're supposed to be far worse than Dell! That's not what I expected!

Is anyone else now concerned?

I've always like Acer, Acer lasts a long time. We're still using on thats over 7 years old

Huh, HP is the worst. That's quite a surprise, i thought they'd be on the bottom of the list, and Dell the leader or near the top.

I still think Dell's stationary computers are shite, it's almost impossible to modify it in any way because of a really awkward and unnecessary internal design.

@DW Yeah, i found a 10 year old acer when i was helping a friend clean out an old apartment that belonged to some of his relatives, i deleted all the old content and he says it runs just fine, though really slow (like a 10 year old computer should be)

i use an HP and it works quite well. I did have one issue with it, but it was basically my own doing

I'm using a Toshiba. Aparta from having to replace a fan and get a new screen after an incident, it hasn't had any problems for several years. Actually there is one problem. That being it uses windows XP.

I sort of like dell's compact internal (desk top) design. Unfortunately, that means a lot of heat!

Notebooks, as long as they have a cd drive, are thick.

Crap...... I have an asus....

BTW, all of the HP computers I've had have died on me, or never worked in the first place when I got them.

I have a Dell laptop and a desktop. The desktop is at least 7 years old and it still (barely) works. The laptop is still working, even with Vista on it.

I have a Compaq Computer With Vista i did have a laptop with Windows 7 but i broke it out of fruststration because it wouldnt work right.

LINUX FTW

Linux for the lose.

ok ok, there's an OS thread elsewhere, no blatant bashing. I am surprised that some of those Dells have lasted that long, any experience I've had with them has been a bad one

The OS thread has been created after that post, DW.

Anyway, yes. I find dell's results rather incredulous too.

oh, sorry, my mistake

YOUR FAULT! YOUR MISTAKE!

*bashes DW*

OH NO!!!!

*Dies from death*

Anyways, unless we have further relevant things to discuss, il est l'heure de...um lock this...oh whatever
