I knew I should have bought a Dell. I had it all picked out and everything, called a local place about repairing the problem I had with my old one to keep for a spare. He convinced me to let him upgrade the old one and build me a new one. Big mistake...I've had nothing but problems.
To top it off, he was supposed to fix the problems but recently ran off to the Philipines.

The people who took over his shop are not happy with him at all and apparently aren't obligated to honor his warranties but are trying to do so anyway. I know I won't get another one but he's going to look at both of them and try to fix the problems. Geesh, I wanted a new one because of errors, blue screens, illegal operations, etc. and it's been worse than before, just a faster speed.
*sigh*
$$ saved for a new one down the drain....
