Well I have 3 Dell laptops and love all of them.

What I like most is that most arn't as Dell-customized as other brands.

For example, when you buy a Toshiba laptop, they install all sorts of junk on there--Dell on the other hand doesn't do this so much.
Now if ya like the help ya could always raise our reputation...

Personally, I don't think Dell provide the value for money on the surface they appear to do. I think they save money on components, and their performace suffers, yet not disproportionally to general costings. Ie. Buy a Dell £600 PC and it isn't much different from any other £600 PC, but buy on Specs, and you will be disapointed.

There Laptops though, don't seem to suffer as much, in my limited experience, and I like my Latitude D400 at work. They do look nice, and that is always important.

Enjoy your new Laptop, David.

I have to say that i was never happy with my dell laptop. it ran incredibly slow for the processing power it had and despite me writting it off as a virus, continued at that pace after the hard drive was earased.

personally i would rather go to an actual shop where i can give the 12yr old sales person a grilling :d, or somewhere like www.ebuyer.co.uk or www.ebuyer.com is still very cheap,on most things they could beat dell price and spec wise.

Due to experience, I've never had a fun time with a Dell.

I was essentially finished with 'em when my friend's portable lost columns of pixels. >_<

(I think it got fixed, nonetheless.)
