I am not up to date on who is in and who is out in the computer manufacturer list.
My son - graduate IU - had a dell till he lost it in the fire last year (that was another story) - He liked it. He then went out with the ins. money and bought a sony viao - worked really well till a couple of months ago then blue screen of death. He had had a prioir problem and the tech support was great 9 months ago. Now he is getting the run around. Soooo he is looking. He does video editing on the machine. (Degree in telecomunications) He is also a little bit of a gamer. So who does he stay away from? And any recommendations? TIA M |

Ask me if my car has rust!!! Group: Members Posts: 619 Joined: 25-February 06 From: Pittsburgh PA Member No.: 5,634 |
His current problem could be a software coruption issue.
May need a software reload. Also could be hardware but that is less likely. Let me know if you need help getting the software restored to origional. |

Macbook Pro - If he's doing video editing mac would be the way to go. You can't beat the ease of us of a mac and Final Cut Pro on a mac is amazing for video. I used it professionally for a couple of years and loved it. Mac all the way (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

What are YOU looking at... Group: Members Posts: 372 Joined: 13-March 03 From: Carrollton, Texas Member No.: 423 |
If you really end up looking for another one, I've had great luck over a long period of time with Dell. I also have an HP at home that I am VERY happy with.
If you want to save a little cash, then use DELL's factory outlet. They sell "wrong builds", overstocks, and refurbs for much less than standard price and they come with the same guarantees a new one comes with. I have a DELL refurb Laptop and have had 2 refurm desktops that lasted like IRON. www.delloutlet.com |
