[GTALUG] Brand-name desktop recommendation?

[Russell]

I agree with those who are recommending HP desktops. I've never had major issues with them and I have worked on quite a few over the years. I am aware that others have had problems. That was back in the days of y2k panic tho. I believe things have improved quite a bit since then.

Recently I have had good success with Pavilion laptops and my current desktop is also Pavillion. 

Currently I've been trying out Linux varients on an HP Mini 110. SOaS, Bunsen, Mint and Fedora all worked with no issues.

Fedora 26 is running on it now and seems to offer the best performance on this bit of older hardware. Not a speedy desktop with 1 gig ram, but its quite solid.

I've been asked by few people about which desktop to buy.  They are
technical enough to swap components, but definitely don't have time to
troubleshoot.  They have more important things to do.  So, I said any
brand, new or refurbished, except HP.

Things may have changed, and HP may be good now.  Which brand would you
recommend for desktop computer for business people?
