    Question What is your current Mac or PC? Would you recommend it to others?

    Since we all have a Mac or PC I thought it would be interesting to find out what you all are using currently and would you recommend it to others.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite. It is now 3 years old and working flawlessly. Never had an issue. The computer before this one was another Toshiba Satellite. It was 5 years old and it too run flawlessly. After 5 years of solid service we retired it. Since the first Toshiba served us well we decided to get another. I would highly recommend the Toshiba Satellite to anyone looking for a PC notebook.

    I have a Dell Inspiron notebook that is about 7 years old. The motherboard failed in the first week and the complete machine was replaced after a tirade. Since then I have replaced the LCD screen due to failure and the motherboard & HDD due to overheating issues that Dell didn't disclose. In the mean time I have two fans helping to keep it cool and I do several back-ups a day just in case.

    A class action suit was filed against them because of a lack of an extended warranty to deal with this issue. I'm guess I am in-line to receive something once it is settled although I won't be spending my $2.38 on another Dell.

    I'll take all recomendations to heart for that inevitable upgrade I am dreading.

    My PC was custom built by me so it really cannot be compared to any off the shelf product. It cost me less than a high end off the shelf system, is much faster and much more reliable. I can provide a list of components if anybody wants to know.

    I have both and use both, but gravitate to the Macs more than the PCs. About all I use the PCs for anymore is a few bits of software that are written for Windows and just don't want to play nice with Wine or other Mac software for running PC programs. Easy upgrades, no constant nags for updates, just generally friendlier to use IMNSHO.

    I have an HP Compaq PC (can't remember the model - several years old) and I wouldn't recommend it. On the flip side, I have an old HP Compac nx 9030 laptop that just seems to be as smooth and trouble-free as anything I've ever owned. Overall, I wouldn't recommend HP, though, even with the good experience on the laptop.

    I run an Imac, it is 5 years old and "touch wood" has never given me any trouble. Easy updates, no virus, so far and it runs quicker than me! I am however thinking of upgrading to a newer one, if I do it will be another Mac. Mind you I do not do "Gaming" I think if you like to play games then a P.C. may be the way to go.
    All the best.

    I have a Dell Inspiron less than a year old, running Windows 7 without a problem so far.
