They are pants if you dont spend much, but if you spend £500+ they use good components.

 

Get down to Staples, they have good deals on HP comps.

They're kind of the Volkswagon of PC's - i.e. if in doubt, get a Dell.

 

Several of our PC's here are Dells (the rest are HP), and every PC & Server at the local council and housing partnership are all Dells too - that'll be 500+ easy (I used to support them in a previous life!).

 

You'll not go far wrong with one, put it that way!

We have always bought our pc's from Aldi. Great value and a good helpline.

That's great, cheers. I've heard that they can be expensive to repair???

I have had numerous Dell PCs and only ever had one problem and that was sorted immediatley with a home visit ... my last one was bought via a reseller whos name I cant think of at the moment but have a look on ebay you can often pick brand new ones up on there from resellers.

For the money you can do so much better. Don't ever buy a PC from a high street store (pc world, comet etc). They are overpriced for folk who don't know better. The only site you need is Desktop PCs | Desktop PC | Desktop Computers | Desktop Computer - Ebuyer.com

 

I've used ebuyer a few times and can't fault it.

Problem is Alex I DON'T know better!!!!! Websites with pc's on them just don't do it for me. I ask about Dell because I've been pointed in that direction and it seems easy!

I'm currently on a Dell Inspiron, had it about 3months and to date no problems.
