I have had excellent results with both Dell and HP. In the case of
Dell, twice they have shipped over night parts I required that were
under warranty at no cost to myself.

I think it is a little naive to feel that a company is suppose
to support any product that they are not actively associated with.

There cheaper models do use quite a bit of legacy products; however,
the intermediate and top end machines are far better. They also offer
the customer far more ways to customize the product.

The bugs you have to avoid are the ones that give the user not only
the inclination to get on a plane, but also the time.
