Apple vs. Dell vs. HP vs. Lenovo vs. Sony?

Which is the best computer brand. With Dell, HP, Lenovo and Sony I think you can get Windows 7. But with Apple you can have their platform. Which is the best in terms of value for money, popularity, reliability, value for money, performance, etc. Money isn't important.

    Only idiots buy an apple computer, who does really wanna spend 2-3 times the money on a computer that is slow for its price, and has got a VERY low resolution xD, i mean what the ****!!

    Instead of looking for a specific brand, look for the hardware INSIDE the pc. And the brands just assembles the comptuers, they dont make the hardware, which means that you should buy the computer where you the most value out of your money.

    Btw if we really wanna do this "mac is most stable!" kind of game, think about it this way:

    You can buy a similar windows based computer for 2-3 of the cost, so for the amount of money you pay for your mac computer, you acctually get a really bad computer, and since it has got lower end hardware it is acctually more unstable than "normal" windows based computer in the same price range, which have gotten ALOT better hardware.

    Think about it:)

    apple, their Osx is incredibly reliable, and if there are any programs you need to use or you just want windows aswell. they have a free tool called "boot camp assistant" which allows you to install a perfectly fine copy of windows. (providing you have the disk). there are also programs like win on x which are around $5 and allow you to run windows programs natively.
