Did you have bad luck with Dell? I've have 2 dell laptops at home, and a business Dell laptop for work. Our company (a big aluminum powered-kite factory) has recently signed Dell as our major PC supplier. They've been good to me for 3+ years so far...

yup, HD's that dell uses blow. i will never buy another dell. they're better off making blenders or toasters. They dam sure can't build a good computer that doesnt break after a year. Use junk to build a PC, get a junk PC.

Not to mention the frickin indians you talk to when you call up customer service.

Their POS company is why I build my own computers.

The outer shell was flaky.. kinda like they were too big for the innards. That caused flexing and we got problems with the keyboards. Some keys stopped working until you twisted the casing juuust right and they started working again for a while. No other HW problems, but they seemed to be designed wrong. I think they were called Inspiron 6000.

Knocking on wood! ;)

Must have been a typical AH gangbang that pushed him over the edge?

This forum provides better tech support than a call-in center staffed by unintelligible foreigners.
