I give up

[next_to_normal]

I have hated my computer pretty much since I got it, but I refused to get a new one because I was determined to get my money's worth. Well, it's been two and a half years, and I frickin' give up. The battery's just died, so I'd have to replace that anyway, it's unbearably slow, it crashes three times a day, and now IT WON'T STOP BEEPING AT ME.

Oh well. It's only money, right? :\

So, oh wise flist, what computer should I buy, and why?

(And if anyone says Dell, I will personally skewer you with a pencil.)

Haha, well, goldenusagi would seem to disagree with you, lol. I have an HP in work and it's generally fine, but I've learned not to rely on that because I had a Dell in work, and THAT was fine, which is why I got a Dell for my personal computer, and that's been nothing but trouble since I bought it. Apparently, my personal uses are more taxing than work.

(I know, I know, stop downloading so much porn, lol.)

lol
That porn sure does run a system hot! ;)

Seriously though - I dont buy Dell because they encorporate rather more planned obsolescence than I like in a computer. Its nice to know my Ho wasnt BUILT to fail directly post-warranty.
Many dell users are really really happy with the product, but when I look at the prices all i can think of is how I could rig together my own stabilized system with half the cost...and better graphics....and better processing...sigh
