The pros of a clone computer, first of all, is lower cost. That is the primary reason why people go with clones. Because either the tier one manufacturer's computer is not in their budget, or they're an enthusiast and want to build their own system, and therefore they buy their own parts. The problem with clone computers comes with customer support. You usually don't have one place that you can call. The benefits of the clones, of course, is the cost. If you go with the manufacturer's machine you do pay a little bit more, but you have the piece of mind that if something goes wrong, you have someone that you can call.
