FYI: In case people didn't know, IBM computers are now sold under the name of Lenovo...since IBM has goten out of the PC market (but it is still an IBM machine).

Well, Lenova made the IBM computers for years, IBM provided marketings and brand and customer service and quality assurance.
As such, I have heard since IBM quit involvement that the quality assurance has gone down. That people are getting crappy computers, while that was a very rare event before. They are still one of the better manufacturers though.
For laptops (What I Was looking at) I beleive that Fujitsu is currently one of the best.

They had a partition on the HD that had the restore software, but I already deleted it. They want to charge for a restore CD.Originally posted by Provost Harrison
Sounds remarkably dodgy to me though...people constantly install and uninstall software. And if they didn't give you discs for the operating system, what would they expect you to do in the event of a needed reinstall?...people like to cry a lot... - Pekka

I was using the chat support. They have it in writing that I reinstalled the OS.Originally posted by Wiglaf
Just call tech support again and don't tell them about the OS?...people like to cry a lot... - Pekka

Also, if you are planning on installing your own OS, make sure whoever you buy from won't screw you out of the warranty for doing it.Originally posted by SlowwHand

Lucky you. We have IBM where I work, and their support sucks, as do their motherboards. We had to go through a major project to replace boards that were going bad whenever someone used a USB port.Originally posted by Wittlich
I, for one, love HP printers and would own nothing but HP Printers ... but HP computers, on the other hand, are a totally different animal. I myself always gravitate towards IBM computers - they have not let me down yet.

I am on my third HP between my wife and I (None went bad we just upgarded and gave the older one to our daughter)
But HP support is teh Suxor!
I was having a problem with Medieval II Total War which ended up after 3 days of trying to be a direct X issue, they gave me the "best" support answer..REFORMAT MY PC..I didnt but couldnt believe that was the answer I was given
I abhor the lack of support and also abhor having to speak ma foreign dialect to get my problem across to them

Yep. My HP 410e was great, until the DVD/CD drive went bad a few months after the warranty ended. In the old days I would've tried to squeeze a little "sympathy service" out of them, and might've gotten a discounted replacement. They'd do things like that just because it helped their image and helped them with quality control from their suppliers. No more.(\__/) Save a bunny, eat more Smurf!

Just a little question - what are you supposed to do if the HD crashes ?
Edit : Or for that matter, wanted to replace the current with a larger ?Last edited by BlackCat; January 4, 2007, 14:19.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
