your average dell is a piece of crap. LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 28/09/2010 11:10:16 PM
They do make some good computers, but it's not the ones you'll just FIND. Dell's been making their bank off providing companies with cheap computers and that's just what they are. Cheap computers, good for little else in the long run besides day-to-day office tasks.

But this is just my opinion :P every dell I've worked with has made me want to kill babies, so I might be biased...

PS. This is in the US. Maybe international Dell is better? :P

I restart my shitty-shit Dell four to five times a day at work. everynametaken - 29/09/2010 02:51:56 AM 346 Views
Do not buy dell *NM* Roland00 - 28/09/2010 11:18:11 PM 140 Views

I've worked at multiple companies using all Dell. They are shit. everynametaken - 29/09/2010 02:48:13 AM 329 Views

What do you do with your computer? Desktop or Laptop? *NM* Roland00 - 28/09/2010 11:18:57 PM 150 Views
Desktop. I have network access storage for work files so I don't ever use laptops. Tom - 29/09/2010 01:25:15 AM 331 Views
Okay, now what will you use the desktop for? Roland00 - 29/09/2010 01:49:15 AM 335 Views
HP Pavilion Elite. ≥8GB RAM. 1TB Memory. 1GB video card. They offer about 3-4 models like that. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 28/09/2010 11:35:32 PM 146 Views

Doesn't the US have companies that let you pick the parts and then they assemble for a small fee? *NM* Helene - 29/09/2010 06:05:09 AM 136 Views
Most of those options were only $20 - $40 more than the base options Tom - 29/09/2010 01:50:20 PM 332 Views
Here is what I would recommend Roland00 - 30/09/2010 05:36:08 PM 369 Views
It gives me an error if I try to set up that configuration. Tom - 30/09/2010 06:19:34 PM 351 Views
Don't worry about that then Roland00 - 30/09/2010 07:09:30 PM 318 Views
I would also recommend the HP Elites Roland00 - 29/09/2010 01:50:31 AM 328 Views

You might like a Sony BlackAdder - 28/09/2010 11:43:56 PM 355 Views
Sony machines, especially their laptops, are vastly overpriced in my opinion. Morgawse - 28/09/2010 11:55:13 PM 325 Views
If you're looking purely at specs, yes that's true BlackAdder - 29/09/2010 04:36:52 AM 321 Views
I'm fairly sure that Sony no longer makes normal "desktops" Brian - 29/09/2010 12:58:00 AM 349 Views
Correct Roland00 - 29/09/2010 01:52:17 AM 334 Views
That's what I thought. Brian - 29/09/2010 02:54:20 AM 375 Views
hmm, alright then BlackAdder - 29/09/2010 02:37:59 AM 333 Views
Yeah it bummed me out too. Brian - 29/09/2010 02:52:28 AM 342 Views
Re: Yeah it bummed me out too. BlackAdder - 29/09/2010 03:39:52 AM 405 Views
I've found Sony to be frustrating to deal with. Tom - 29/09/2010 01:26:33 AM 333 Views
Yeah they've been going downhill BlackAdder - 29/09/2010 02:42:33 AM 332 Views
HP used to be good, but I've been hearing bad things recently. Ghavrel - 29/09/2010 12:58:44 AM 343 Views
What bad things have you heard? Tom - 29/09/2010 01:27:23 AM 343 Views

If I were going cheap on laptops I would probably go for a lenovo Roland00 - 29/09/2010 03:21:19 AM 852 Views
I had no problem running multiple programs for hours at a time. everynametaken - 29/09/2010 07:11:08 AM 366 Views
I am curious what is your model? *NM* Roland00 - 29/09/2010 01:15:09 PM 146 Views
It was a C500 I believe. everynametaken - 02/10/2010 01:30:29 AM 329 Views
I like my HP better than my dell. nossy - 29/09/2010 01:14:39 AM 339 Views
Did the bad computer lick your apples? *NM* LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 01:23:00 AM 142 Views
No, that would be a bad thing. nossy - 29/09/2010 01:34:59 AM 323 Views
But that Dell was the bad computer. *NM* LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 01:37:09 AM 123 Views
Hmm. I've just made an amazingly stupid post. nossy - 29/09/2010 01:40:02 AM 322 Views
Crack is wack, yo. Stick to grass. LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 01:41:21 AM 305 Views
Dell sucks more dick than a gay boy at his first Pride event. LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 01:21:06 AM 327 Views
I liked your "like a gay for pay frat boy" euphemism better. Tom - 29/09/2010 01:28:13 AM 332 Views
Well, they can't all be hits and I try not to recycle material too often. LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 01:31:37 AM 317 Views
Re: Dell dick gay boy event. Gaps - 29/09/2010 02:59:38 AM 333 Views
I didn't say he'd do it well. But yes, I believe a significant quantity of pole smoking would occur. *NM* LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 03:02:38 AM 127 Views

Anything designed by Cyberdyne Systems is the future. *NM* jiggy - 29/09/2010 09:51:56 AM 170 Views
I've heard they have problems with their customer service. *NM* LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 11:52:25 AM 136 Views
I heard the opposite. They respond quickly and effectively. *NM* Gher - 29/09/2010 03:36:03 PM 137 Views
No customer ever complains twice, eh? *NM* LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 03:36:52 PM 132 Views
Nope. Gher - 30/09/2010 03:24:23 AM 306 Views
I really don't have computer advice, b/c I bought the first cheap computer I saw. StarrBecca - 29/09/2010 12:15:11 PM 396 Views
