I wanted to share with everyone the computer I just bought. I used to be a Dell guy for years and years. I've bought four desk tops, and one lap top. At first, there wasn't anything to compare to them, but now it seems they have gone the way of all the other manufacturers with lousy costomer support and top price compared to similar machines.
When I wanted to upgrade from my last Dell two years ago, I went to the store and read the reviews in several different PC magazines. Gateway was rated very highly in several magazines, and Best Buy had it in stock. That was the worse computer and biggest waste of money that I've spent in a very long time!!!!
I learned two things. Never buy a Gateway and NEVER trust the reviews in a PC magazine.
HP has always disapointed me in printers. I have one now, and it's OK, but the main reason I bought it was the price and there really isn't anything else to chose from from. Because I consider HP middle of the line and more of a Walmart type brand, I wanted to avoid them.
While at Best Buy, I went online in the store and did a search on Amazon for computers and started reading reviews. I never heard of Lenovo before and dismissed it right off while in the store. I thought it was another Acer type brand. The reviews shocked me. All VERY GOOD. The more I read, the more I liked it. Seems that IBM got out of the PC market and Lenovo took it over. It's not an IBM, but what used to be IBM is now been upgraded and coming on strong as the new brand of PC with the new company name.
For $545 after tax, I have this machine.
Lenovo - Ideacentre Desktop / Intel® Core™ i3 Processor / 8GB Memory / 1TB Hard Drive - 77471CU
It is extremly fast, simple and best of all, totally quiet!!!! I mean you don't hear anything. No hum, no spinning, NOTHING.
I've only had it a day, so this might be a big premature, but compared to everything else that I've ever bought, this is in a league all to itself.
