As a long time pc user, I can say yes to that answer, really, all the pc's sold in a consumer shop will behave differently, even though it's from the same company. That's why with pc's, u should build one yourself, so that u know it works with the best components. (something like an apple machine...) :) My old pc still behaves & performes better than many socalled "brand" pc's out there.
