Hummm, I've been in the computer industry for years and have owned many, many compters throughout the years. At this time, I currently own a Compaq IPaq Legacy Free Desktop and a Compaq Presario Laptop. Both of which have performed extremely well.
Now, if I were joe-average computer user and never did any windows updates, driver updates, firmware upgrades or registry tweaking I think just about ANY computer would have problems.
---------
Throughout my years I have rarely ever had a hardware problem! I can count in my head the problems that I've had that weren't directly related to my OWN stupidity.
Burnt out 125Meg drive in a 5 year old 486.
2-3 fried modems from lightning strikes that were the result of sing cheap opto-isolators.
Burnt out 100Mbps network cards, but they were 3com's that had been used for 2 years previous, (bought used)
16 bad sectors marked one one drive out of almost 20 drives.
So, when it comes to reliability of a machine could you guys clue me on on what you think makes the Emachines or the Compaq so bad?
