i had so many problems with my old dell it was rediculous. I went through two motherboards and i guess it was a common problem with inspiron's (or the 4000's anyway). I also HATE dell tech support, they're so awful.
I've been looking at compaq/hp. My boss has an hp and i really like it, and my parent's computer (the one i use now) is a compaq and they love it and i think it's pretty good as well. Hence they like the name compaq and probably wouldn't have any qualms about buying a laptop that's a compaq
