"Clash of the Titans" is a new series of polls that pits one titan of today's world (companies, brands, etc.) against another. Because the range of topics for this is huge, when all available options have been used, the winner will be placed into the Hall of Fame.

-----------

Last Week's Winner

Last week, Toyota defeated Renault-Nissan Alliance.

Toyota Motor Company: 75%
Renault-Nissan Alliance: 25%

Total Votes: 20

Because that was the last round of automakers, Toyota will be placed into the Hall of Fame!

This week, we start a brand new series, with computer brands.

-----------

Facts about the Titans

Dell
HP
Toshiba
Sony
Apple
Acer
Lenovo
Alienware

-----------

Feedback
You can suggest any kind of brand name/company to compete, it doesn't just have to relate to the certain topic.

Hmm... don't think I've ever touched a Fujitsu computer, but while Gateways... um... aren't great, I've at least used/had/seen one of them, and they don't only make laptops as your description mentions.

Went Fujitsu, though I don't think I've used one. My brother had a Gateway and it sucked.

Now bring on Apple! We want our king! (Note: I am not a Mac user)

My Fujitsu laptop latches onto pretty much every wireless network it encounters, which is sweet enough I'm voting for it. It doesn't help that I haven't used a Gateway since Windows 98, mind.

I went Gateway on this one. They're not my favorite, but they do make a few computers I'd be interested in buying.

Apple will get its chance, though it might not be anytime soon. ;)

(Note: I like Apples.)

Meh. All the computers I have ever had were custom.

I'm going with Fujitsu just because of the fact that I have owned a Gateway, and it royally sucked along with their customer service.

Even though I've never even seen a Fujitsu, let alone use one I voted for it. Had a gateway, was the absolute worst piece of trash. Died in under a year. Mayan, boy do I agree on the customer service too! I have a huge folder of paperwork (don't know why I still have it) from when I was trying to get them to honor their own warranty, letters and documents to every BBB I could up to attorney general of the state gateway's incorporated in. I was that mad!

My current computer was built for me ... about 6 years ago - so far I've needed a new PSU and atm am waiting for a new graphics card (is slowly going :( ). Not too shabby for 3 people using it, heavy use for 6 years.

Gateway, because mine has run well for all of the eight years I've had it. :)
