If you are buying a new computer, this list should help make the decision easier. I want to get a good idea of what computer manufacturer is the most popular nowadays.
I have had 4 HP desktops and 3 HP laptops, and I will continue to buy this brand, they're sound machines, and they have great tech support. I have also had an Alienware desktop, and I will never buy another one--way too expensive! For fun I customized an Alienware computer yesterday, the final price was $9,890!! Granted it had an extreme six core processor, dual 1.5GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 graphic cards, and 12 GB Triple Channel 1600MHz DDR3 RAM, but still...almost $10,000, you can buy a car for that kind of money! I would only recommend an Alienware to someone who works in the gaming industry OR has money to blow!
