What kind of brand new computer should I purchase for myself?

I do not want a Mac...
I do not want a lap top...
Tell me a good brand and style to buy and why do you recommend that...

I plan on spending roughly about $1500.00 or less...
It is for email, games, play and web surfing...Not business...

I just bought an HP. Its the best computer ive own. I don't know what kind it is because we added a bunch of things to make it ideal for us. Dell is pretty good too.

another note. When you buy a computer make sure that it has what you need. If you have lot's of pictures or music make sure you have a good amount of memory. For games; make sure you have a good sound card.

I am not a computer geek, but I hear and listen to many things.
I heard Dell was selling off it's computer brand to some other company, therefore Dell has new ownership.
And I've heard Dell doesn't respond to repairs in a timely fashion.

I have always heard positive things about Panasonic/ Toshiba products.

For playing games you need your computer to be fast, and have lots of space, keep that in mind

Well even though you said you don't want a mac, you should still consider getting one. If I were you I would go down to your nearest Apple store and play with some of the computers for a while. But if you absolutely don't want a mac then I recommend you get an HP because we have 3 different HP computers and none of them have failed on us. They are really great computers.

I consistently advise against procuring from a branch or electronics save considering which you quite often could purchase the entire equipment of application that includes numerous crap you dont want. I advise have Gateway construct you one such as your specs. i exploit gateways and have not had any problems with the final 3 as I even have with HP. Use the greater money for memory, bigger complicated force or perhaps though else you may want not what they want you to have
