Sure dell computers may cost less than others with the same price.. but at what cost? (that doesnt make much sense...)

No, seriously. dell computers are about 50% more likely to break than other computers, thier components are of the lowest quality.
do not buy a dell unless u have no other option

Heres a poem...

Go ring a bell and yell
You'll go to hell
If you buy a dell

Didn't you realise 72% of all statistics are made up on the spot?

Dell's are mostly all my company has been buying for the last two and a half years. In fact our server is also a Dell Server Class machine and it's a tank. I have yet to have one of them have a problem that wasn't caused by a user. (not a single hardware failure yet). For that matter I have such a high degree of confidence in them, I don't even buy the extra waranties.

Dell machines are very reliable and there are some very high spec machines avaliable from Dell [ such as the new quad core XCS ]. That said, they are not very upgradable, but that can be said for all pre-built computers.

I agree. Dell computers are among the best computer provider (In Malaysia). I've been using Fujitsu, Acer, Compaq, NEC and DELL within 10 years and from my experience DELL the best and have been using their desktop for almost two years and never have any hardware problem. I'll say that ACER is the crappiest lol the pc only take a week (after purchasing) before the DVD start not to function properly and then frequent system crash and i have to replace the hard disk and DVD player for the pc.

EVERY Dell I've opened that someone had problems with was CAKED with dust bunnies. I don't think it's the Dells, I think it's the slackers that own thoose particular Dells.

I have my issues with Dell. When I was in the Marines, my unit switched to Dell's. I had about 15 power supplies go bad, numerous hard drives crap out and other minor issues. However, I have been working with some really badass Dell Workstations and no problems yet with them.

Custom > Dell ^_^. I do not care for Dell too much. My friend and my brother both have a Dell, and I am constantly having to fix them. Maybe people just need to learn how to take care of their computer? I do not know.

if you dont try and do anything beyond a reasonable level on a dell, [i.e:, video editing on a 256, 1.8ghz] they will run. that however, was not eh case for me. i was on that computer running hl2, and fraps at the same time, abusing it as much as i could, and it gave me problem after problem. then i got my beast, and gave the dell to my dad, and aside from royally farking up and requiring a format, its been fine on a steady diet of word processing and email.

I dislike Dell because most of them are hard to upgrade and have a lot of onboard stuff, but so do most prebuilts, We use them at work, and I have seen several in my repair business, but based on how many PC's they sell I wouldn't think the failure rate is any higher than anyone else.

the older dells just sucked and you could not breath or they would brake
now dells made like 3 to 6 years ago always have bad power supplies, the new dells are for the most part just as good as anyother computer you will get for that price. you need to remember you get what you pay for
