How about a custom built one?
pre-builts are always more expensive and give less performance.

Ran out of room we need bigger polls on GS.
Desktop : custom built of course
Laptop: Thinkpads. By far the best keyboards on the market, the best energonomy, they have trackpoints, tough built and they are one of the few laptops that don't look goofy and flashy.
I prefer DIY. At the very least, I would've preferred a true clone with off-the-shelf parts like one from cyberpowerpc.com
OEMS sucks all over priced low end systems with ungly cases . Customs are good when some one spends real money and time into them. I hate seeing a 450$ pc where the owner acts like its the most amazing thing ever when it has junk hardware in it .
Desktop PCs- custom build Laptops- Apple, well built, reliable, and it's OS is extremely efficient in terms of resource usage.hiphops_savior:lol: Apple for laptops :? That some sort of joke? They're junk for the price you pay. There is no reason for their laptops to be 2 to 3 times more expensive then a windows laptop of similar specs. As for reliability and quality you would go with ASUS. If you want the best portability (light weight, small, long battery life) while maintaining functionality you might consider a Vaio Z.
[QUOTE="2Chalupas"]Hasn't IBM been out of the home PC business for like.... years. They sold out to Lenovo. Toshiba = crap laptops. Apple = not even a PC And the "best" PC is pretty much going to always be a custom built anyway...Cdscottie*Slams head against the keyboard* Mac OSX is a PC OS, no matter how much marketing they do to say otherwise. Apple computers use the same components and the same software (For the most part). Hell, Apple and Microsoft (Add in IBM for hardware) were the ones who brought the PC to the mainstream. If Mac OSX isn't a PC OS, then Linux isn't as well. Thats what billions in advertising can buy you!
This poll is really pointless. This thread is really pointless. lol
Custom built is the best. Cheapest, most powerful, etc.
Dell is now the best...they offer Steam installed at the factory.
HP is prejudiced against nVidia GPUs...if you order a PC from them with nVidia, then you can't have a sound card...if you want a sound card, they force you to buy only ATI, and that's just bad marketing, imo.
