Hey guys.
One of my computers went south, and being the one to that fucking Dell computer, I can't say I'm surprised.
It's just the thing just turns into a neither off or on mode, kind of like a perpetual hibernation stage that you can't make it snap itself out of.
It was like this before. I changed the RAM, but that problem didn't go away.
Recently, the symptom became more frequent after each passing day.
It's an Optiplex GX270 from Dell.
I went to other forums to search for that question, and I found that many people in those forums had that very problem. Plus, when the computer was off in long hours, I had to reset the computer about five times so that it will successfully boot to the operating system.
The Dell forum administrators said it had something to do with the capacitors and that Dell would offer a replace: two years before I bought the junk!
It was refurbished and we bought it in a local Canadian franchise shop, so, again, I would be a fool to not expect it to not run.
I am shopping for another one, which brings me to the question at hand: what kind of computer should I buy and what make is the most reliable?
Do you use desktops, laptops, or both? What are some pros and cons for both? Not right or wrong, but just articulate your points as much as possible.
I have opened the poll for people who would use both at the same time as well. Likewise, why would you use both?
OK, have fun!
