I'n actually shocked at how good this new HP probook runs, swapped a ssd and maxed ram in it and with a i3 it scores
6.4, 7.3, 5.8, 6.2, 7.9. Not bad for a $349.00 discounted base price lappy!

After putting an ssd into my laptop, it got supercharged! My laptop is just simply a $250 pre black friday deal.

The last PC I had was the only time I had every bought a brand name. It was a Compaq. It lasted five years and was good when the power supply failed. I was going to have the power supply replaced and found that it cost $300. It was a special type you had to buy from Compaq. I will only go with a custom build PC now.

Wow! 300 bucks! If I were you, I would drill the proper holes in your case for a standard power supply. I reccommend corsair, silverstone, and seasonic.

Custom built is always good! My friend has a dell laptop and it has been great for him.

Acer 4530 laptop it's what I use
& the wife uses
Dell Dimension 4700 Desktop, 7 years old in April, still running great now with Windows 7

I've only bought one pre built computer back in the 486 days. It was a packard bell 486 SX, you couldn't even add more RAM to the thing. I replaced the gimped SX chip with a DX chip and from then on I was hooked on building my own systems.

I have a Dell Dimension 5100. It is still a great computer. It is going to be 7 years old this June.

That's not a bad thing to be hooked to.

It's a lot of fun and a great hobby.
I do use a Panasonic CF-19 Toughbook at work, for what I do it's pretty good, but always feels super slow compared to my home system.

Here is a picture comparing the toughbook and my home system.

That is just desktop wallpaper, and I can't find where I downloaded it.
I switched to this one that I got from deviant art. The clock/calendar etc are rainmeter

Congragulations! You have HP computers too. I like HP a lot.

The HP desktops are a lot better than the Dells. But the laptops are not that great.
