Owning a PC is an up-and-down affair: Sometimes things go well, and sometimes they don't. Even the best machines have problems, and from time to time, even the best manufacturers have trouble fixing them. As Jerry Shipley will tell you, the key is finding a machine whose problems are few and far between—and a manufacturer that can, and will, tackle those problems.

To help you find the most dependable computers and PC manufacturers, we give you our 17th annual Reader Satisfaction Survey, in which Jerry Shipley and more than 8,000 other PC Magazine readers describe experiences with the desktops, notebooks, and servers that they use at home and at work: over 17,000 computers in all.

As you peruse the results, you'll see that no company is beyond reproach. Each is guilty of selling machines that need repair and providing poor technical support at times. The leading vendors—Apple in the desktop and notebook categories, Dell in desktops and servers, and IBM in notebooks—are those that keep criticism to a minimum.

It quite an indepth look a some major retailers of PC's. Unless you know how to build your own I think it makes intresting reading if you are thinking of updating your current machine.
