Asus are normally better.

LMAO!...dude, I cant believe you used Acer in the same sentence as HP, Compaq and Lenovo!!. I think you are being a bit unfair their bud. I have absolutely no problems with Compaq & HP. I have had a bad batch of Lenovo motherboards, however they have replaced them including labour.

My main issue with Dell is its over seas telephone support, though most big names are doming that now. You cannot beat a Dell for price period, and if you arent a game enthusiast, they are 8 out of 10 times fine. I think the laptop chassis are a bit dodgy but thats it. As for bloatware, that can be removed.

As for rating ASUS as much better, thats just bollo*ks mate. They have only been in the laptop business 5 bloody minutes...LOL

708895 2008-10-01 20:58:00 I was talking only about desktops. ;) Laptops are a a different story for sure.

And I wasn't comparing them with each other, I was comparing them with a custom built PC, with good quality components in them and a good warranty.

Same goes for desktops, though I have yet to see an ASUS desktop......

708897 2008-10-01 21:03:00 They make 'em. Not a lot, admittedly.

I'll agree to disagree. I'm not saying any of those brands are rip offs or anything, just that you get what you pay for, which for most people is fine.
