quartz pretty much every computer nowadays has like 20 preinstalled ads for AOL, cable internet, blah blah blah
And yeah I already pointed out the same thing about Alienware.
Dell is okay. I bought their inspiron 8600 laptop in may..still runs good. In middle of summer though, power supply was troubled and wireless broke. But they were really good at returning it to me like new just 5 days later. So it's not that bad. But yeah, dell is hard to customize and stuff.
