Best Computer Brand Name ! (laptops, desktops, hard drive, processor)

[DPolo]

I have not bought a computer in over a decade, so i wanted to know what are some respected names of today.

Back in the day Dell was a good name, but it went down hill.

So what is a reputed PC manufacturer ?

In terms of prebuilt, I think that ThinkPads, ThinkCentre and Macs are the best brands in personal computing.

The Dell Latitude are okay.

Dell still makes good ones.
I like Asus and Lenovo laptops.
Don't like HP.

Puget Systems is amazing.

Most PC manufacturers just put stuff together based on research specs. Some of the parts are made in house, but I'm not sure how much or what percentage. Thing is, PC's are rather indistinguishable from one another once take the labels and branding off. If you are worried about components failing then you just need to avoid cheap parts, but the only part that failed on my prebuilts was the power supply. Dell and HP can tell you where they source their parts from, i.e. WD, Toshiba for hard drive, Samsung, Crucial for memory, Intel, AMD for processor, in house, ASUS for motherboard.

You could always pick your parts and have Newegg build it for you, but that assumes you are looking at desktops and note laptops.

Toshiba all the way. Been a computer user for 40 years and Toshiba has the best customer service.

MSI is European Asus.

I have an MSI laptop, pretty happy with the manufacturer.

back in the day you would pay extra for an ASUS motherboard, Intel is a reputed manufacturer but ASUS was more like the higher priced luxury car.
