When you go to a store like Target you see hundreds and hundreds of different computers, problem is, none of them are Target branded, they’re all Dell’s, Gateway’s, E-Machine’s and anything else you can think of. So is there any real difference between the companies, or should you just buy the computer you like the most? This article will list a few of the best computer manufacturers and why you should consider buying computers from them.

HP

Hewlett-Packard is one of the oldest technology companies dating all the way back to 1935 at Stanford University. This makes HP one of the oldest and most trusted computer making companies in the world today. HP computers are sold at fair prices which is why schools usually mass buy them for their computer labs. In 2008, Hewlett-Packard overtook Dell to become number one in computer sales in the industry. In addition, HP is widely known as a printer company, which furthers the business they receive from offices and firms. HP holds an A rating with the Better Business Bureau.

Dell

In 1984 Dell was founded making it a much younger company than HP. This has not stopped Dell’s rapid growth, however, as it became the number one seller of computers within the first 10 years of its creation. Dell’s standards for cheaper computers made it a clear choice for many businesses and schools looking to buy new computers. Dell is probably HP’s biggest rival currently as the two have eaten up many smaller companies trying to beat the other out. This was displayed when Dell bought a gaming PC company named Alienware and HP responded by buying VoodooPC.

Apple

While Mac computers aren’t the same as the computers manufactured by Dell and HP, it’s undeniable that Apple has had huge leaps in their technology over the past few years. Apple is known for its hardware’s reliability and its focus on being cool has kept them very successful over the past couple of years. Apple doesn’t have any real rival in the computer manufacturing industry other than Microsoft as an OS competitor, but it has seen a huge increase in units sold as Apple is right under Dell as the third place leader in hard ware sales.

Whether you decide to buy from HP, from Dell, or from Apple you can be sure that you will be being from a quality company. All of them have something unique to offer so it’s imperative that you at least browse all three of their catalogues before making a final decision.
