| In order to ensure the highest level of support, buy your computer directly from the manufacturer. In addition to the unparalleled support, buying directly from the manufacturers allows users to customize their options and have a system built unique for their needs. |
| 1. | Dell - The current leader in built-to-order internet sales. Dell is noted for its reliability, performance, and exceptional customer service but is rarely the lowest price among comparable systems. |
| 3. | Compaq - Manufacturer of popular Presario line of desktops and notebooks. Value priced models, but their computers are not as reliable as Dell's. Exceptional customer service department and affordable pricing make Compaq a leading manufacturer. |
| 4. | IBM - IBM computers are no longer found in stores, but can still be purchased via the internet. IBM has been a leading name in computers since the beginning, however, it has fallen off the pace in the home PC market dominated by Dell, Compaq, and Gateway. If you are a business looking for industrial strength, this is the place to go. |
| 5. | Hewlett Packard - Hewlett Packard manufactures a wide selection of top quality printers for all printing needs. Though HP also manufactures computers, it is most well known for its quality printers. In addition, download the drivers for any of its printers off the web using a great search tool to find the drivers you require. |
