Thinking to get a new desktop. Which is more reliable - Acer, Dell or HP?  |
|
Hello myLotters. It's time to get a new desktop for me. My current desktop is like 10 years old? I am quite a PC 'idiot' and I dont know much about computer stuffs. All I know is, there has been lots of promotion going on amongst these 3 major brands, Acer, Dell and HP.
Many people has advised me against Acer and told me to go for Dell or HP instead. Any of you have any knowledge about these 3? Which would you recommend me to get and why? Please advise.

Hi there. Really? Dell gives out 5 years warranty? I must really call them to check. If this is so, then it is really good to know! Then I might just go for Dell too. I love extended warranty period. It really gives me the peace of mind.

John4Christ (1026) | 4 months ago | Ohk, I guess they initially give you one year warranty and then you can go ahead and extend it for 4 years........so totally that makes it 5 years.......I suggest you go to their website and check that out........

it is not very to say which PC are the best. As per the brand name all three company are the best in world market. First decide configuration you want to take. Think your budget. Then only suggestion can be given. Same time please specify what do you want to do with PC ie, playing games,or do just for your work.

submerryn (709) | 4 months ago | Hi rajupaul.
I need the desktop mostly for online purposes. I'm a blogger so I need them to run fast. Games are not so important to me. I saw Acer comes with so many specifications, I cant really recall them now. But HP and Dell are like more expensive yet doesnt come with all those provided by Acer. Yet, people are still telling me not to get Acer.. Headache!

4. cwong77 (1175) | 4 months ago | submerryn.. you hit me with this topic.. I am not a computer PRO, however I like to shop for computer deals especially during PC Fair.. I will normally source around for the price before the fair, and later go all the way there just to grab what I want.. and usually the last day, coz better deals I get..
I am currently using ACER, and has been a good fan of it, coz I have better discount from the distributor.. and most of my friends fancy Dell, because they could order the PC online, get it delivered and better, having good after sales service.
I personally not tried the ACER after sales service (and I hope I don't have too) however since some friends tried using Dell, and they commented that Dell do give a very good ones..
As for HP, with that kind of higher price you pay, it's will be more for the branding.. My cousin uses HP, and he seems to say not much of a difference.. or maybe you want to consider to built one from scratch?

submerryn (709) | 4 months ago | Hello cwong77,
I almost fainted when I read your last sentence! I wont be able to built from scratch since I am such an 'idiot' in this line. I guess now it is the running between Dell and Acer. That Higher Priced brand I think will be out. Or is it? Because my hubs can kinda get a better deal from that Higher Priced brand... but it's nice to hear that your Acer is working well. At least now I have the confidence in Acer.

kevchua (753) | 3 months ago | PC Fair? Nah, I'd only buy accessories from there. Certainly not mainboards or the entire PC. People have been duped there, too. If you want to buy a desktop it's best you pay a personal visit to the a reliable PC Store near you.
Sometimes... i said SOMETIMES... it pays to buy something expensive but of a better quality. It's best to shop around for the same brand. Then compare the prices and the services offered.

cwong77 (1175) | 2 months ago | Kev.. even in PC Fair, I will still go for those brand's direct distributor to purchase the PCs.
From the PC Fair, I will also get better free gifts and also discounts.

5. jonjee0203 (1635) | 4 months ago | I bought me a HP recently. It is okay. Has a camera and is booted up with the latest Windows.I had to buy all these OEM soft ware. Cost me a bundle. There was another model - Compaq but I did not buy it as there was no camera. I once had a Dell Latitude. It cost me RM8,000 but its keyboard was not working and so I disposed of it into the rubbish dump!

jonjee0203 (1635) | 4 months ago | It was beyond warranty. The replacement of the keyboard would have cost me some RM450. The repair shop says its not worth replacing it as the motherboard is only a Pentium 2. So they cannibalized some parts to sell for me. The remainder, I dumped it into the nearest garbage heap.

6. joanahw (283) | 4 months ago | I think Dell and HP both are good. I am using Dell and it is almost 5-6 years old, but performing well. You have not mention wether you need TFT or CRT. Now days TFT has lot of scope, people are switching to TFT. So if you want to buy CRT better you go for TFT.

submerryn (709) | 4 months ago | Hello joanahw,
First of all, I have to ask you. What is TFT or CRT? I dont know all these terms. I am after all, a PC 'idiot'. Care to elaborate more? Thank you so much in advance...

kevchua (753) | 3 months ago | Generally, TFT and CRT refer to the way the monitor displays. TFT is clearer, modern and more expensive (the same type you get when you buy a notebook). CRT is like the old TV version that uses tubes to display colours. Not as good as TFT.
So, if you want clarity, go for TFT monitors. People hardly buy CRT monitors nowadays.

8. rosepedal64 (1310) | 4 months ago | I have a laptop but my son has a desktop. I will give you my opinion with the a little help from my son. HP is more expensive. They have a big name and has been around for decades. Their quality is high and relieable. Dell is also expensive,unless you find them on sale. They also have a big name and have been around for awhile. Acer is less expensive, just as good as HP and Dell. They offer the same qualities and warranty as the others. I would recommmend ACER I have a Acer for over a year now and have had zero problems and paid extermly less for it with the same specs as the others.

| 10. hsb123 (34) | 4 months ago | I think you should look for Dell Studio Desktops, they have nice configurations, good price and quality and a excellent service, moreover Dell is one of the best. But if can wait for another 6-10 months until the launch of Windows 7 by Microsoft (if you windows OS), you can take a good deal as all computer manufacturers be will giving better and discount.
