Never have has a problem with the Dell brand. I wouldn't blow them off because of one negative reviewer on a car forum.

What do you currently have? Year, Brand, model, processor, memory, hard drive?

And what do you want?
Are you just going to be doing Excel worksheets, word processing? Or do you want great graphics, video, sound? Solid state drive? Memory is interesting, get as much as you can afford, but not less than 16GB, I would at least try for 32GB. But there is decreasing marginal utility... You might notice a huge difference between 8GB, 16GB to 32GB but not notice a difference between 32GB versus 64GB....

Do you also want a docking station? That's how my work computer is set up. I can go back and forth office/home/office/home....
Dual monitors, printers, etc....

I find (using a lot of different devices) it gets to the "feel" of the keyboard, mouse... Some are clunky, others smooth as silk. Kind of like cars... or motorcycles..
You want one that suits you...
Well, I'm not the only one with Dell problems, but I've had a serious string of difficulties and buying yet another Dell has continually landed me in the same place.

Reading here it seems that the peo Dell stuff is good stuff. The last Dell I bought was a desktop with dual HD's, a pretty fast CPU, huge storage and most importantly of all, a LOT of RAM as I got it to edit videos.

It came with so much BS on board that I really want to wipe it and install a new clean Win 10. An example was the included video editing software. That got me hook line and sinker getting me to spend another $100 to unlock the potential. Worked so awful that I insisted on getting my money back. I blame Dell for promoting this junk and it's all over the place in the start window.

When it comes to computers I want nothing but what I will use along with some performance. Cleaning all the crap up is beyond my ability.
