I'm not a hardware expert- should we avoid companies like Dell? Is there a quality problem with their hardware?
There's no reason to avoid Dell. Their machines work. And when they don't, Dell has a warehouse of parts to fix it. And, they're hardware isn't unreasonablly priced (esp. if you shop at their "outlet" web store -- returns, refused orders, and other such dumb stuff that makes things "not new".)
