    i own one right now as well, zero problems

    when i get a laptop for college this summer, its gonna be between mac and hp based on how the new mac OS turns out.

    pretty sure mac is gonna win out on this decision for me

    i work on both dell and hp desktops and laptops. I dont see much of one having more problems then the other. Then again , i work with business computers. I have several models that i prefer and have built nicely and work great. pm me. im using a HP NX7000 to write this message, but i also have a Dell laptop thats pretty damn nice too. It's personal preference.....

    I'd go with a HP as well. I personally find them about the same build quality as a Mac.

    Get a dell.. just don't get Vista... It sucks complete ass. Wait a few years for programs to be designed for it.

    Or build your own for cheaper. It's easier to build a computer than anyone thinks.

    LoL, I thought this thread was going to be about "hooking up" with someone through the computer.

    I have a Dell Laptop and have had zero issues from it for nearly 3 years. My Dell desktop has been running strong for 2+ years.

    For my next desktop, I'm going to build my own from New Egg.

    u can't buy a new dell without vista... i work tech suppt for dental software.. and we've told all our users not to get vista till windows works out the bugs...

    next thing we know they've got a new computer with vista..

    why?? because windows has a contract with dell... and other companies as well that any new computer they sell has to have vista on it....

    I was just on their site... the XPS's like I have still come with XP, as do a few others. It's an option on almost all of their small business computers as well.
