Gateway would have fewer problems because... there are less owners of such and you'll get less people posting about their issues.
I'd rank them equal.

Looking to get a new desktop. I have had experience with Dell as well as Gateway. My 'computer geek' advisor says I should go with Gateway. He sees alot fewer problems with Gateway than he sees with Dell. Is that true? Also he recommends I get the small business version as opposed to home & home office products. He says they are generally better built. Is that so?
I need it for general home use and business use from home. I do financial investing, so I subscribe to on-line information systems as well as Bloomberg and do charting.
Can anyone recommend a 'good' system. Thanks.
