Brand name computers, why buy them?

Laptops are a different story.
Is everything that way over there Z?

Mostly, its as easy as,

Son: I have a pc, its giving me probs
Dad: Go to the shop pay BD5 and they will do a full resinstall with all the apps u want.

Piracy, its a way of life. Support stinks from local vendors, part are cheap (quality not price)

I help my pals out and build my own pc's.

I have to disagree to some extent.
I have many Dell Stations, the computer are reliable + I get 3 years of on site Warranty - Parts and Labour included (which saves me tons of headache when it comes to Hardware breakdown).
Do I prefer to pay a bit more - 20-35%
and have slower computer - the guys/gals in the office wouldn't know the difference with the application suite they are using.
And have a piece of mind for 3 years.


Thank you,
Gabriel
