What is your favourite brand of computer?

HP is my favorite brand of computer. I've almost always had HP is my main brand of computer and they have lasted me the longest. The main reason why I buy this brand is their customer support. Everything from HP has at least a 1 year warranty; including external hard drives, webcams, etc. In addition to their customer support and their long lasting products, I like the look and feel of their products.

I was an advocate of Dell computers, but since my needs have changed I am now an advocate of self builds.

However, for average users, Dell are still fantastic. I have nothing bad to say about them and have always received superb service. The only 'niggle' is the lack of flexibility [in terms of upgrades] inside their cases, but this comes at a cost I suppose and is part of Dell's business model.

With regards to Laptops it has to be the Sony Vaio, they're fantastic with a solid build quality.

I build all my PC's myself, with a small exception made for laptops. I'll usually get those form HP.

Apple and Dell. but dell customer service sucks. dont ever call them because you cant even understand them...

I usually prefer to build my own machines, however given the nature of the question that would not be an acceptable answer. I prefer Dell when i need to go mainstream for my computers. I think their support is stellar and they stand behind what they sell 100% I used them exclusively before switching to building my own machines.

If you serious about buying a machine I would have suggested Alienware for gaming but they were recently acquired by Dell so in essence your getting the same company.

i use an hp for my main computer and an alienware for gaming

I would have to say, HP. due to their higher failure rate, I get a lot of business fixing them. Most of the hardware repairs I do are on HP computers. with out them, I will have a lot less customers.

Brands aren't computers. The "similar question" got that wrong too. I think you meant to ask "Who's your favourite computer manufacturer?". Keep in mind some computers aren't branded. Those that are custom made may be far greater quality for cost than those that are branded. My favourite computer manufacturer is myself. My favourite commercial computer manufacturer is Lenovo.
