What kind of computer do you have?

[sfreeman8]

If you're going to build your own, stay far away from AMD - they stink.  Built a computer with an AMD motherboard and it dropped dead not even six months down the line.  Never again!  That one experience soured me to AMD forever more, LOL.

I've always had a Dell. The one I have now is an Inspiron with an AMD 7550 Dual Core processor. It's an oldie but goodie (from 2005) and, of course,  I can no longer upgrade mine either. I haven't had any problems with the processor yet, but had to replace the power supply 2 years ago. I have a really, really old Dell that ran great for years and I used it up until 2 years ago. I used that one for my job because of the requirements by the company, and the newer one for personal use.

When I bought the older Dell, 80 MB hard drives and Pentium II were the cat's meow so you know how old that computer is!  i did put another hard drive from an even older computer into my older Dell which gave me 160 MB.  Both my Dell power supplies went out within a day of each other. I got one fixed but haven't done old reliable yet.

I would love to get another computer but I just don't like the idea of not having the OS disks and I don't like the idea that Microsoft wants you to pay continuously for their OS. 

My next computer will definitely have another Pentium. I do think they are much better than the AMD.

My "go-to" is an old Dell Optiplex (Windows 7), I got it re-furbished off e-bay for under $100 a long time ago.  Considering how much I use it, it's never needed any repair & all it's used for, it was a STEAL!!!

My latest computer is a refurbished Dell Optiplex too. I use it mainly for streaming movies and tv shows to my tv and I bought it because it had an HDMI port to hook up to my big screen tv. It was like $118 on Ebay and runs great.

Keep in mind, the brand name means very little, learn what specs you need and shop for them. Having someone tell you about some nightmare they had with a particular brand is not anything to base your decision on, they all have problems on occasion and that doesn't  mean it's not a good brand. If they don't come with installation disks, you can make them.

I own an HP laptop at home as well as a Dell PC and both are good, the Dell is old and will be replacing it soon,  the HP DVD driver is broken but the laptop itself is good and working perfectly.

   I use many computers. The old ones are the best ones. All the bugs are gone...everything goes with no problems.

I have an HP laptop, and I'm about ready to throw it out the window. It isn't even a year old, and this is the second time I have to send it in for repair. The hard drive died after 6 months, and now the DVD drive won't work, because it's giving me an "access denied error." At least the repairs don't cost me anything, because it's under warranty, but that is up soon, and I just know I'll have more trouble with it.

I'm thinking about getting a Mac, but I don't want to replace all my Windows programs. I know I can get Parallels to run windows programs on a Mac, but I have one program that is sort of a hack; I have to change the "hosts" file and add a bunch of gibberish to it, to get it to accept the serial number key to unlock the full version. I don't know if I can do that on a Mac, even with Parallels.
