Hello! and a question

My name is Ruth.
I am considering purchasing a Microtel Gaming Laptop. XP Pro version, as I am not excited about Vista.
I currently have a 4 year old Dell, which is still chugging along nicely, but is getting kinda quirky.
I have been trying to find review of Microtel's computers, but seem to be striking out. I've visited most of the major review sites, (zdnet, cnet, pcmag as an example) and keep coming up with stories about everything but customer satisfaction, technical reviews, etc, which is what I am looking for.
I'm hoping for opinions/reviews from folks who've bought a similar brand in the past.
Any suggestions? I've googled this till my fingers turned blue and my eyes have crossed.
Thanks for any help/recommendations.

Hi Ruth and welcome aboard.
I'm afraid you won't get an answer to your question here as this forum is for introductions only. Try posting in one of the gaming forums or the laptop support forum. Please, however, do not post the same query in more than one forum.
