Dell Computers Options

[clarissa]

What's your opinion on them? My dad and I ordered a Dell Inspiron E1405 today and I'm pretty excited. When my mom found out, she freaked 'cause she hates Dell (but I think it's 'cause my sister gave her her old one that freezes a lot). Anyway, it's way better than my computer (which constantly reminds me how I have low virtual memory and low disk space. Ugh.)

So I was wondering what other people thought about it. If you have one, is it good? Any problems? I just want to know if the computer we ordered is good enough so I can quit worrying.

Dells are nice computers, you get what you pay for. If you buy the $299 dollar computer, dont expect a work of art that will never have anything wrong with it, and don’t expect the best tech support on earth.

I have a Dell XPS laptop, its heavy and bulky, but it kicks ass. Back when we ordered it, Intel Centrino was the “new” thing. It was expensive, but worth every penny. It came with 5 years of on site support, and phone support. Which, the XPS computers come with American Tech Support, that alone is worth the money. Last thing that went wrong was a dead pixel, and it was fixed within 4 days of calling them.

We also have a dell desktop, which we have only had one problem with that. The floppy drive went out once. I called and told them I could replace it myself, but they sent a dell technician to replace it which is really unheard of in the computer market now-a days.
