Nobody's badmouthing anything here. I'm giving you my opinion based on what computers I see coming into my shop for repair EVERY day. The most common are Compaq, close second are gateway. I hardly see any IBM's, and the ones I do are quite old. HP, sony and toshiba I don't see enough of to warrant any bad opinions, and again most are old and have outlived their usefullness anyway. Dell's I hardly ever see, and i am a dell certified repair center...I have nothing against them, just their computers are too damn big.
