dell computers? good or bad???  

I've had a dell laptop for about 2 years now and am really happy with it. Never had any problems and the one time I had to call customer service they were quick and very helpful

i bought a dell vostro and it was horrible with vista,i guess xp works better on them,,,if you take vista go for 4 gb ram or more

dell is famous with its service,even here we know that. and i don't have a dell computer,but i think they are good.

I had a Dell Inspiron 1500 laptop that chugged along faithfully for close to seven years, and which I killed by spilling green tea on the keyboard. I had installed so many programs on it that it took a while to load but it never failed me! I was kicking myself in the b**t for fritzing it, because it was so dependable. Anyway, I now have a Dell Vostro 1500 that runs on Windows XP. My ordering experience was very pleasant, and I had one occasion to call tech support, and again, I was really pleased with the service. I love my Dell laptop.

I've had a Dell desktop for over two years and only had a problem with the installed software that came with it. Their customer service however was very poor. After many calls to them I not only had gotten no resolution to my problem but had been lied to about what they would do. I finally got them to do the right thing because I was a stockholder and sent an email to someone at investor services and complained. He called me and took care of my problem. I have since sold my stock since I thought it was going to go down, it did. So I guess I don't have that path if I have future problems.

Dell Laptops are good but for desktops...find a better vendor....

Personally...I liked my HP better than my new Dell. Although my interest is probably altered by the fact that my HP had XP on it and my new Dell came with Vista preinstalled.

My opinion of computers bought off the shelf is this:

Once a computer hits a "shelf", there has already been a better one made. I believe that all manufacturers of computers, be it Dell, HP, E-Machine or whatever, put the cheapest components that they can get their hands on into the computer. This is how they make their money. The computer itself looks great (on the outside) and at first it runs like a champ. But as you use it in everyday life you will find that it doesnt keep up. This is because they put in it what they can get away with. They test it and if it works then "voila", put it on the shelf.

The best computer you will find is one that you put together yourself. You will make sure that all parts are of good quality, not just the cheapest thing you can find.

I just got my DELL so i dont know.

but i will keep you up to date on my dell

I had purchased dell pc in 1997. Pantium 2. It is still in good working condition and my son is using it. He is quite satisfied with his dell desktop computer. I baught laptop and my son says that his dell is his best friend.

I have an Accer which is made by Dell and my computer tech friend has 3 Dell computers and we have no complaints about them at all. we have had good service as well as quality products from Dell.
