Yammer Dan Posted August 22, 2012 #1 Posted August 22, 2012 Computer still acting up. Getting out the door in couple hrs to go look for new system. Any Recommendations??Think we are going with New Dell. It was good for 8 yrs. I guess thats almost as old as I am for a computer. Goiung to Sam's, Staples, Best Buy and what ever and look today. And Kat I couldn't answer message Warden won't look at Refurb. Bad experience with Tom Tom she can't get over. Warden can get into Club site and a few things but can't access most. Can't answer messages. Weird. Just lets me do what it wants when it wants. And she is going to put this one in garage??? I got BIG TOOLS out there....
jonesy Posted August 22, 2012 #2 Posted August 22, 2012 in staples flyer this week, HP desktop,,stock ##P7-1235/448941 $479.99, no monitor desktop package w/monitor HP P6-2136B-797075 $479.99 laptop Toshiba stock ##L855/931373 $499.99 I set people up with pc's as a side line and if someone ask today I would send them here.
bongobobny Posted August 22, 2012 #3 Posted August 22, 2012 I'll vote for HP, had them for years! Also have a Toshiba laptop still going strong!
etcswjoe Posted August 22, 2012 #4 Posted August 22, 2012 I still say build your own of you are going for a desktop.
dacheedah Posted August 22, 2012 #5 Posted August 22, 2012 I have great luck with hp and off the shelf parts fit them if you have issues down the road. Can't hardly beat a boxed packaged price off the shelf, especially when it's back to school time. . .
Snaggletooth Posted August 22, 2012 #6 Posted August 22, 2012 Another vote for HP. Been very reliable for me.
Cheesehead in flatland Posted August 22, 2012 #7 Posted August 22, 2012 My advise is to look at things like warranty and support, not gigahertz and gigabytes. Anything you buy today should suffice for a home user surfing the web and writing a few letters. If you can purchase a "commercial or business class pc", HP or other brand, you'll like pay about the same and get much better warranty and support. Most retail outlets don't sell commercial or business computers. CDW (http://www.cdw.com) is a good source.
Yammer Dan Posted August 23, 2012 Author #8 Posted August 23, 2012 Went and looked today. Touch screen is impressive but upkeep would be rough. Just about any repair requires replacing Mother Board. I think I'll go back to Dell. Nice complete system. Get another 8 yrs out of it?? This one will end up in garage. I can get on club site and E-Bay...bout covers my needs.
Redneck Posted August 23, 2012 #9 Posted August 23, 2012 As long as it's not a first gen it will be fine.
Yammer Dan Posted August 23, 2012 Author #10 Posted August 23, 2012 As long as it's not a first gen it will be fine. Wearing shorts today. Kid at Best Buy noticed leg and we had long talk about bikes. He is getting ready for his 1st one. Hope I helped him a little. They were completely out of 1st Gen Dells... Must be the big demand for them......
Yammer Dan Posted August 24, 2012 Author #11 Posted August 24, 2012 Called Dell. I know enough about these things to get in trouble shopping for them....
Skid Posted August 24, 2012 #12 Posted August 24, 2012 Both of mine are Dells, hadn't had any problems. Less than $150.00, but takes a few extra days...
