Which Is Better hp Or Gateway?
89844
HP computers used to be pretty crappy but they have come a long way in the last few years. On the other hand i have been pretty dissapointed with the quality of gateway machines, as they seem to be getting cheaper (as in poorly built) every day. If you decide on a gateway, i highly suggest you do not buy one of their monitors as they seem to have a very high failure rate. For a true quality machine, i would look to a professionally built system from your local computer dealer. You can generally specify the components you want used and build a smoking system that will far outclass the HP's and gateways.

I don't recommend anyone to purchase a Compaq or a Hewlett Packard (HP) computer of any kind.  They're made by the same company and they're cheaply built PCs.  Anyone that I've known to have one (including myself) has had nothing but problems with them.\n\nI'd go for something better but that all depends on how much you'd like to spend.  If you're looking for medium grade laptops that won't put much of a dent in your wallet, then go for Toshiba or Dell.\n\nIf you're willing to spend the cash and get the best, go for Sony or IBM.\n\nAs far as Windows XP, if you're not an experienced user or an IT professional, then Home Edition will be just fine for you.

you should try some of the online courses that are free at gateway's web site or the ones that are at the hp website

Wow, I thought this would be an easy one given that Gateway is pretty easy to work through.  I found you some reference material but not much else.  Maybe you'll have the time to sift through the site below and others (type "CGI server" into your search engine).  Sorry, best I could do is get you started.

NO way!  Gateways suck!  I have one & I wish I'd never agreed to take over the pmts on it from my now deceased boyfriend.  I recommend a Dell or HP.  Less hassles, issues, memory problems, etc.  My mom has an HP that's 6 years old & all she's ever done outside of routine maintenance with defrag & such is she upgraded the memory.  Gateway cancelled my warranty when I refused to accept the one year free AOL offer.  It was NOT part of the computer deal or payments.  It was included inside the box as one of 2 special internet offers, the other one being from Earthlink.  When I called Gateway, I went in circles with them over the AOL/Warranty issue.  I was told they don't void warranties for not taking part of any internet offer, they do void warranties for this & back & forth.  After 6 months of this, I bought the warranty for 2 years.  Nothing went wrong until AFTER it expired & my monitor blew.  Gateway said it was a manufacturing defect but because of my warranty/internet refusal, they were refusing to replace my monitor.  6 more months of lawyer calls & BBB calls finally got it replaced, only to have it blow out again.  I replaced it with a monitor to my now deceased uncle's old Packard Bell & have upgraded my memory on this puter.  Sorry to ramble on.  Just avoid Gateway & get an HP or Dell.

Dell XPS is a great system. Alienware make better gaming machines...Gateway...they just plain suck.  gateway and e-machines merged a while back. Now its just a bigger company that sells crap computers.

A gateway is a must for your PC to establish connectivity to external networks (and internet). The gateway is a device which lets your PC communicate with external networks. Whether you need to specify a gateway or not depends on your configuration. In the case of a dial up connection and dynamically alloted IP addresses, gateway is also picked up automatically. However if you have a static IP address assigned to your system, you may also have to specify the gateway.

Your best deals will be through major manufactures for pricing, they have the infrastructure and service techs to handle nationwide issues ... i would suggest contacting Gateway, Dell, Toshiba and Compact/HP .. you will want to have a consistent and reliable line ... smaller companies tend to have offbrands of questionable reliability and limited servicability .. the major companies will do onsite service and can ship major parts overnight if necessary.   Smaller comapnies tend to require shipping the unit to their plant for service which most customers find annoying.

Here's a wild thought. Check HP's website before asking someone else. MUCH quicker.\n\n\nSee the link:

Ask hp--- a friend of mine had 1 of these computers and it was back with them more times than he had actually used it. I have been told that these Pre loaded comps dont like being messed with. if you try yourself it always seems to go wrong. They must do something with them that stops you messing.

Dell or HP. You have to put an eye on the support given by the manufacturer. Dell service is better and faster than HP, in case of a hardware failure, but HP hardware is better, so you decide between having a very good support and good hardware (this is DELL), or having a very good Hardware with regular support (this is HP). In my particular case, I prefer Dell, because of the support.\n\nHope this helps. Regards

The Acer Aspire 3623, has a slightly bigger screen, A little faster processor, 128mb deidcated graphics memory, 40gb hard drive, a dvd-rom and a load of extras.. the only thing the compaq has thats better is a 60gb hard drive. Both have the same ram, although the acer has more dedicated to the graphics on top of the standard ram. Go for the Acer Aspire, it's got much more.

Dell is decent but if you want something that is going to last a long time and work well, go for HP. It is cutting edge and it works really well. There are lots of great free upgrades too.
