[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] PC-compatibles - Which ones to avoid

dchavez@closus.enet.dec.com (Dale J. Chavez - Colo Spgs) (10/18/90)

Greetings,

I've just started reading this newsgroup, so I apologize if this question has
been beat to death already.  Anyway...  I'm in the market for a PC-compatible
machine and there lots of choices out there.  Rather than asking what people
recommend, I'd rather ask:

What PC machines should be avoided?  There are lots of machines out there for
some incredible prices, but obviously the quality isn't there and the support
after purchase might not be there as well.   One of the warehouse clubs in town
carries a machine called (I think) Blue Star.   Great price, but it looks and
feels like a cheap machine.    You get what your pay for.

What about Tandy machines?  Do they provide quality service?

Thanks,
Dale
