Lots of the web pages that give feedback are really internet marketers advertising the computer software therefore i question that the product reviews are truthful.

Dell used to be good. I have a Gateway 675 laptop that has required alot of repairs ... I use it 24/7 but with the priority service i get AMERICAN service people who understand the problems and resolve them quickly. I would never buy a dell over a gateway because of their service personnel in foreign countries who don't have a clue.</p> <p>Angelinfl</p> I would buy a gateway over a Dell because Dell has outsourced their customer service dept to India or Phillipines and it sucks.

No fans, no noise, and really small.

They sent me a new keyword for a laptop once, …

Is a “keyword” a new-fangled laptop component that I am oblivious to or did you mean “keyboard”?

Unless you are trying to bait Dave and myself

I wasn’t trying to bait anyone. If the first four reasons are why you buy Apple, then that’s a valid observation.

I'm willing to pay more for an Apple product because Apple beats all the others on your first four criteria so handily. If they made it difficult to buy one and were a pain to deal with I might have a different opinion. You're right on the expandibility part. When was the last time you actually considered upgrading a processor or added a PCI card to your pc? USB and Firewire have all peripherals covered these days.</p> <p>Unless you are trying to bait Dave and myself you should probably title this "What makes an adequate Windows PC?"</p> I think you know my answer to your question and let me tell you why. #5 is the only one that is different from the reasons people buy from Dell.
