For laptops, I usually buy Toshiba or Acer. I would never buy Dell. But hey! They're free. I probably have a dozen or so towers on the shelf quietly waiting for the 'Day of Powering' when the present ones die out. I just move the drives over, since they are all similar.. Also, Dell's tower power supplies seem to go out every few years. That might be due to the fact that I never turn them off.

I never did like those "switching power supplies"..

a little AC always slips in and with micro voltage data pulses strange
things can happen..  ;-)

But I have a Dell tower, and it's never given a minutes trouble.. 
(knock wood)

the Laptop is another matter...  ;-(
