g25racer, you never stop do you? :p

In my opinion, Dell computers are a good computers. People always say that Dell = Hell and that Dell sucks, don't buy it. Trash, it's garbage, they are stealing your money for 0 benefit.
Say that a kid comes and just wants to know what processor or how much memory to get for his Dell custom pre-built computer. There's gonna be one typical guy that's gonna say

"kid u shulnt get a dell. Dell=hell, dont buy thm build youre owwn. Its cheapr and u get a better rig."

Now, is that gonna help that kid in any way? Dell's may not be the best choice for a guy who wants to have a top-of-the-line gaming comp or a high-end HTPC but heck!! Some people have the money to get a high-end Dell. Some people just want a home/office computer and Dell makes great computers for that.

I don't know about Laptops. On the other hand, I've heard that they break really often.

As other have said, I believe that their desktops are mostly for those who don't know much about computers. They're over-priced for what you get. I'd just build my own - and have it look and PERFORM better than a Dell.

Their laptops however, are pretty good. I'd get one.

Doesn't that apply to any PC manufacturer that sells pre-built computers?

I like Dell, for one, they're Caterpillars choice of brand, secondly from past experience. Either I am lucky, but I have owned numerous Dell Computers, some dating back from the mid 90s, and never had 1 fail on me. Not once. I know my Dads old business laptop (Dell Latitude D600) failed once, but Caterpillar was quick and replaced it with a new machine. I do like Dell, and I would really recommend them, and have recommended them based on my experience. With the technical support, most people usually go to a tech support guy to get it fixed, or have enough knowledge to know what to do. How do they get onto the vendor website to contact them if it was fully broken =)

Working for an ASP years back and a self maintainer for the past few years I have dealt directly with their business end support, which is not the same as consumer support. I can tell you that they do all in fact suck. All of their web front ends for their ASP sites support nothing but IE and active X and are total crap. With the exception of Apple, their support is bounds better than any other company I have had to work with, and I have worked with the following on a professional level:

HP/Compaq
Gateway
Sony
Dell
IBM


IBM was also pretty good, but their web front end was not as good as apple's. I also have an Apple SE assigned to my work which I can contact directly and he is local to my area. So, they do go the extra step with service, but the down side is they never ever give out any SWAG. Every other company has crappy service, but gives us tons of SWAG.

Dude, this polls is just reference on a background idea. We DO NOT know how many voters know technical stuff about computers and who does.

:p

Your a newbie to this site. Try to stay out of trouble the first 1,000 posts or so

Oh, so you're saying that since you have 1000+ you can cause trouble? Having little posts means very little dude...
