Poll online! If you want more options, please say so!


I made a few modifications to narrow it down to laptop makers (and not Microsoft)  ;)

        Laughing at the cartoon...

        Most laptop manufacturers are good (based on personal experience) but when it comes to support it becomes a whole other story.

        I currently have an acer laptop. Great value for money but pants support service.
