Survey, which consistently rates Dell at or near the top for both desktops and notebooks? I'm on faculty at a university with over 10,000 employees, and we've outsourced our IT support (including a "refresh program that provides computers to thousands of desks each year) to a division of Schlumberger called Atos. Guess which company's computers they use in their refresh program? If you said "Dell," you win a kewpie doll. So yes, I think he *is* right, at least for now -- and he's been right for about 15 years now, consistently. Or do you think it's merely an accident that Dell has risen from an obscure garage-based company to having the largest market share in the world in a bit over 20 years? I just wish I'd bought more stock in the company back then -- it was also the single best stock investment in the decade of the 1990's...

Alright, guys...let's get this over with, "once and"...well, "for a while"...at least! ![]()
In your opinion, pound for pound, apples to apples, and all that--who makes the best desktops in terms of performance, price, reliability, and support?
You can stump for any company which you believe fits the bill--yes, even tiny little makers most of us have probably never heard of before.
