Guys. Dell is one of the leading computer sellers. The guy was trying to tell people about extreme bargains. Not a fight fest over if dell is a good company.

Unfortunately, g25racer is too immature to realize that.

Their laptops are fairly good. I'm using their E1505 right now. I've only had a few problems with it in the past 2+ years.. Needed to replace its keyboard, buy two new chargers, all the non-slip feet are gone, one of the USB slots stopped working, had to buy a new battery and the CD/DVD drive is a bit screwy now. My Tab key started to pop off this last week so I might need to get another new keyboard or just super glue it into place.

I'm currently using a Latitude D 510 (dell) and it is working fine... the only thing wrong is that dells have a low CPU and with vista not enought ram... so that is a bit of a down but you got a new dell and put XP on it... it would be very good!

I have a I8200 since 02 that I have abused and never failed. Now I have a XPS 1710 that I love except I didn't realize just how big it would be.

Edit; Anyway, on-topic. My wife's Inspiron 8200 she's had since '02 and used as a desktop replacement every day is just now starting to see some hardware issues. I'd say that's pretty damned reliable. It must bring a tear to some of your eyes knowing that her 'POS Dell' continues to outlive your custom-builts.
It's not alright for them to come in and give there opinions about a brand not being good, but when it's about the brand being good it's alright?

Omega is giving people some ultra savings regardless of weather or not it's a good brand.
