maybe their home machines. I have a 6910p for work, and it runs like a scalded pig. I was pleasantly surprised. I still need more RAM, but this will work for now.

you have to have a desktop? That's a toughie, 'cause I've always bought laptops and built desktops. You can build a helluva desktop for $1000.

Im good at building, but not computers haha. I need something user friendly for computers. I look into that though thanks m sure my brother could, he builds 360s. Thats what i like about alienware you "build you own" and then they actually make it

If you want a decent machine, warranty and support, the Dell Precsion workstations are pretty good bet.

agreed. Dell's higher-end support is great. You actually get an English-speaker in Texas. :don'tmesswithTexas:

Their precision stuff is awesome. Their XPS is okay, but the support is hit or miss, 'cause it falls under their Home division, I believe.

If you oder from dell, call them after you configure your system online. They will almost always discout or throw in extras if you talk to a rep. If you order thru the computer, no extras or discounts.

**KrushR** · 07-30-2008, 03:15 AM

again, agreed. just print out your cart because it includes all the part numbers. They usually take a $$$ off, but sometimes they'll throw in a printer for free since it means ink sales for them later.

Was using my laptop and all of a sudden out of no where on the left bottom hinge that connect to the screen with the rest of the laptop, a piece just like poped off out of no where. no the screen is loose. im about ready to just sell the damn thing on ebay cheap and buy a new computer. (sadly this would make me wait longer for the downpayment on my bike though) :(

taking laptop to bestbuy I think they are gonna have to completely replace it everything gets worse everyday. shuts down on its own for no reason sometimes, screen blacks out now unless held at certain angle......if they give me a new one im just gonna sell it and then buy something else, im done with hp

Good luck! I have the service plan with Best Buy and i was told that the laptop has to be shipped to the factory to be fixed 4 times before they consider it a lemon and replace it. I have bitched and bitched and bitched and all it has gotten me is anxiety and a $40 gift card.
