Now I know that they don't make good gaming desktops, but their quality is great.
I'm currently on a Compaq laptop, 2.2GHz processor with intergrated graphics and 4GB of RAM. For 3 years this thing has been pushed.It used to have 2GB RAM But I upgraded it. Heres what It's been through The DayZ Mod Trying XCOM Trying Planetside 2 Trying Ghost recon online And all of that was on 2GB RAM except for Planetside 2 and XCOM I got this thing when I didn't have a clue about computers.
On several occasions, I have been told that my computer shouldn't even turn on anymore, but it still runs well... usually... without lag. So if you want a cheap desktop for small work, go with Compaw |

| if I wanted a "quality" prebuilt I would go for an ASUS laptop. I never ever plan to get a prebuilt desktop in the forseeable future. |

I prefer Gateway, lol
I got a desktop with a 3.0GHz Quad i5, 8gb RAM, (integrated graphics but whatever) and 1TB hard drive for ~$700 at Best Buy. ~$600 online right now.
Switch out the power supply and graphics card. After that you're set. |

Yet I have no experience whatsoever with building computers and I fear that I'll break the parts to make one. I'd rather have it made as-is so I don't screw up. |

>compaq >good oh please i've had two compaq laptops in the past one had a major hard drive failure after having the worst temps ever(two weeks after it was bought). it was no longer a laptop-it was immobilized on a cooling pad because the temps were outrageous
and the other kind of just fell apart after a while |

"and stupid, since their food is horrible"
well, sometimes it's smart to eat it when you can't trust the food anywhere else to be safe for human consumption. you know it's crap, but at least it's reliably crap in the sense that it won't give you diarrhea. just constipation. |

| Compaq wasnt meant to be fast. But compact(Hence the name). they are meant to be as minimal,portable as possible. |
