I like my Dell Inspiron and I hated my Compaq 1200. E-machine is a computer
that came out a few years ago that reminds me a little bit of the
Trash(TRS)-80s of the late '80s whereas it's mostly a compact desktop and is
NOT upgradeable. But it is still a desktop. I have stuck with Dells except
my one foray with the Compaq and will never not buy a Dell again. I have
never had a problem with any of my Dells, whether desktop or laptop.
