14. My statement about various machines may be "anecdotal"

Thursday

(my and my family and friends lived experience with various machines) but it is true nonetheless. Every person and office in my experience that had hp machines couldn't get rid of them fast enough. Apple are decent machines, but are quirky and expensive. Dells seemed to be the sweet spot, decent machines for a decent price.
Again, my experience. Yours will be different, that's how the world rolls.
