I build my own PC's but for laptops, I prefer Dell. We also have Dell's at work which are pretty decent but there's something to me about hitting the power button the first time and the thing POST's! Wooohooo!
I build my own. Went to a free class that explained it all. You have no idea how much money you save. Dell, is the biggest rip off. like $1,200 for a gaming pc, when you could make the same one for $350. Thats just my 2 cents
