When non-IT people ask me what they should buy, I say Dell. They are hassle free and reliable. My last personal Dell computer lasted me 5 years.
They are not the cheapest computers you can buy. You can buy “no name” “white box” PCs. But “white box” PCs are often they are made of unreliable/short-life components.
But wait! There is a way to get cheap Dell computers, often with a full warranty. And you can do this by visiting the “Dell Outlet” sites. Where they offer Refurbished (aka “Scratch & Dent” ) or Pre-configured systems.
The Dell Outlet websites can be found here:
Australia – Dell Outlet
USA – Dell Outlet
United Kingdom – Dell Outlet
“White box?” – generic PCs built by computer shops. As it a competitive market, computer shops compete on price, often at the expense of reliability.
