I just google the make and brand of computer looking for problems. I tend to buy open box deals, I check the computer at the store for obvious errors, and buy something 'name' brand.

I know lots of people who build their own, argue over cpu's, take a month to do it. In the mean time I'm screaming along.

I had 4 Sony's, then 2 HP's. I have an Aesus netbook.

I also have an HP laptop my daughter left me, and a Toshiba I cart around in a briefcase.

I like the Big HP Media thing, but if cost is an issue that's maybe out unless you find one that is 'less' than the latest one that just arrived and get a sale.
