best make of computer and best service of seller for this computer?
I am thinking of getting a new computer, not right now, but soon cause ours is 7 years old and a bit slow and with updates not supporing the old windows packages and some other issues too, we want to either upgrade or buy new.
so what i would like to know in your opinion which make/company is the best to go to, give the best sales service (ie don’t try to sell you the highest priced rubbish, promising it does what i want and find that the graphics card is worse than we got now say!
also want a company that if i should need them, have good after sales service too. often a sore point with computer stores/co’s
right I am after a good, reasonable priced, fast machine, with good graphics and sounds for game play, as well as home/office like MSworks/broadband, decent basic software, without loads of school child programs, not lookiing to buy via ebay sellers either.
does anyone just do the tower, without mouse/keyboard cause we got good ones?
thanks in advance for any sensible advise
This is U.K. Answers, so I’m going to assume you live in the U.K.
I had my system built by a local shop that I checked had been in business for a while. I found them by word of mouth advertising. They asked me what I wanted to be able to do on the p.c. and helped me design a system within my budget. The price included set up and delivery.
I’ve had to call them out three times. Twice I got a quick response and the problem was fixed at my home for £30 – £50. The other time they talked me through what to do on the phone and there was no charge.
If you can’t find anywhere like this, then think about somewhere a bit pricier like Evesham. Frankly, all the big companies will sell you a system using the lowest grade components they can use, slapped together in a factory. Profit margins are so low that its a wonder any of them are still in business. They get their money back from the expensive phone support.
Hewlet Packard BEST computers world wide

Gateway. You talk to an American.

Best make of a computer would be somewhere like Alienware. But that’s WAY overpriced.
Best mainstream computer is probably the Dell. But beware, when you call for service you’re often transferred to India. You also can NOT remove the keyboard/mouse options using their website.
Gateway has decent customer service, but their system configurations leave a lot to be desired. They were once a decent company, but I would not recommend buying their products today.
Best bang for the buck would be someplace like http://www.abs.com or http://www.monarchcomputer.com — these are not mainstream brand-names, but they give you a fast computer for a decent price. Plus you can remove the keyboard/mouse options from both of these websites.

Vision Computers in Atlanta. They make their own and use only the best stuff. If you need service you get to talk to an American. If you get one from any of the major manufacturers and call for service you will need to be able to decipher an Indian accent. You only get the option of talking to Rajeesh.

There prices are very competitive and the average hold time for a service call is three seconds. I will never go back to the big guys.

Computer Slow
Download and then run startup.exe (FREEWARE) at:
http://www.mlin.net/startupcpl.shtml……
Can’t live without it and windows…
Then disable and/or uninstall whatever u don’t need.
Other things to try:
1 – Disk Cleanup (removal of temp files, cookies, etc.)
2 – Defrag
3 – Registry Cleanup (CAN BE VERY RISKY!)
FROM A HARDWARE PERSPECTIVE THE BEST AND MOST COST EFFECTIVE POSSIBLE UPGRADE (IN GENERAL) IS THE ADDITION OF MORE MEMORY (RAM).
ALL ELSE FAILS – RELOAD YOUR O/S (WINDOWS) AND THEN REINSTALL ALL OTHER PROGRAMS YOU NEED/USE!
