I only tend to avoid HP, and even then the reason isn't their own fault (Windows Millennium) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 15, 12:57 5
- That said, for myself, I would avoid buying a desktop. Macbook Pro Retina or Surface Pro with the keyboard thingy is the way I'd go. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 15, 12:58 4

  - Weird. I go HP desktops and have never had a problem with them. -- nm - Spawn Jun 15, 12:59 1
