Whoever gave you the information is wrong. Do not listen to them in the
future.
All manufacturers are required to provide a method to restore your computer
to a like new state. In the vast majority of computers, Compaq included,
that means a hidden partition on the hard drive with an restore image.
During boot, an option to restore from this image is available. You also
have the option of making a set of CDs or DVDs from this partition.
As for brands, all the recognizable name brands are "good". You get what
you pay for. Sony and Toshiba are overpriced for what they offer (and also
have the downside of only offering Intel processors). Compaq and HP are
aimed at the "average user", and are acceptable for the market they are
targeting. HP and Compaq merged a couple of years a go. Gateway acquired
eMachines.
I also concur that the best route to go is to build your own. You get what
you want, and if you build wisely, you will always have a graceful upgrade
path.
