Question

What is the best inexpensive desktop/laptop you can get from Apple/HP/Dell?

The best computers are Alienware but they are around $5000. The best of the more affordable computers are Sony vayo and HP Pavilion. And by the the way the dell is the worst of all computers. To learn windows OS hacks go to my profile and visit my website.

Answer 2

I wouldn't say that any computer is good or bad. It boils down to O.S. and BIOS. My DELL has been the best computer I've had. I wiped the drive of vista and threw XP on and it works fine. I'm not an uber gamer geek so I don't need 137.7364 as a frame rate. Do the best that you can afford. The apples are good too, just too expensive.
