Hi there, I am new to this forum, so feel free to welcome me!
Anyways, to my question. Over your computer-using lifetime, what PC brands have stood out as your personal favorite and least favorite, in terms of ease of use/reliability/etc? For the record, I'm 22 (around the same age as the computer in my username), so a bit younger than most folks on here, but I do admire old tech, computers especially. I'll start with my picks for the best and worst
Best for me would be Apple (after Steve Jobs' return), thanks to obvious reasons such as elegant, simple designs with performance well ahead of most of the industry.
Worst however, would be Packard Bell. I don't really have any experience with them, but everyone I know that did have experience, hated them. Many of you may recall that around 1996, this company was sued for incorporating used parts inside their machines and not disclosing that fact, thus leading to NEC acquiring Packard Bell and eventually withdrawing the name from North American shores. Speaking of which, you can still buy a Packard Bell computer in Europe, right?
Now, you all can chime in and let me know your favorite and least favorite vintage computer brands!
