yea like my aunts
Ahh whatever, a dell is a dell. If you want performance and looks, go for Sony VAIOs. Especially good are their SZ or TX lines.
As for Dell owning Alienware, it doesn't really impact either company, except that Dell gets better revenues now, and Alienware gets money from dell to make their comps.
Yeah, the old dells are great, I would pick one up if I could. But these newer low-end ones... Maybe if they got some competent TS people who know that a clicking hard drive is not normal (I had a dell tech support person tell me that) I would consider a lower end one.
mine cost around £280 so $560 and its still going good after about 18 months , not a single problem other then the ammount of dust that it sucks in so it needs cleaning every few months but we do have a dog and my parents smoke so i suppose it is bad cos before we got a dog it could go 4-5 months before a cleanOnly true if you get a high end Dell. The lower-end ones (about $900 and cheaper) are crap. I see them in with dead motherboards or failing hard drives all the time after about two years of use if not less.
The new ones aren't bad either.
Just a hint: If you're dying for better customer support, you're better off buying from the Small Office/Business department of Dell. Chances the tech support are domestic rather than outsourced, which means you won't be facing any language barriers.
