Brand does not seem to be much of a factor for me compared to if it's designed for home use or business use. My experience is "Home use" systems are crap regardless of maker(there might be some good ones but I have not seen them).

I always tell people to buy the onsite, no fault warranty for min 3 years so you can have anything fixed you need and you don't have to loose site of the system and potentially your data...

I will say I am partial to Dell. Over the last 15 years in the IT industry, I have always had good service on business class systems from Dell that I bought personally as a home user. I tend to shop the scratch and dent/refurbished section at Dell as you can save some bucks that way. They work just as well as a brand new one you pay more for. Any system can have issues, it's how those issues are resolved I care about. I would make sure you get a Solid State Drive as you will like the response times better.

My two cents.
