I restart my shitty-shit Dell four to five times a day at work. everynametaken Send a noteboard - 29/09/2010 02:51:56 AM
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


The funny thing is... companies just don't seem to learn. I mean it isn't like the backbone of my company (and companies I've worked for in the past) is computing power and information manipulation via computers. Yes, I'm being sarcastic. ;)

Seriously, it cracks me up that companies everywhere continue to buy cheap, shitty Dell's in exchange for work efficiency.
But wine was the great assassin of both tradition and propriety...

Do not buy dell *NM* Roland00 - 28/09/2010 11:18:11 PM 126 Views
I will not. I will not buy one on a boat, I will not buy one with a goat. Tom - 29/09/2010 01:24:07 AM 300 Views
I've worked at multiple companies using all Dell. They are shit. everynametaken - 29/09/2010 02:48:13 AM 297 Views

I am very partial to both Acer desktops and laptops. Morgawse - 28/09/2010 11:15:02 PM 324 Views
Just give Tom a heads up Roland00 - 28/09/2010 11:20:17 PM 306 Views
just a heads up about gateway, don't expect customer service. LadyLorraine - 29/09/2010 01:14:56 AM 298 Views
What do you do with your computer? Desktop or Laptop? *NM* Roland00 - 28/09/2010 11:18:57 PM 136 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 294 Views
Okay, now what will you use the desktop for? Roland00 - 29/09/2010 01:49:15 AM 304 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 133 Views
I just looked at an HP computer... Tom - 29/09/2010 01:21:25 AM 441 Views
Sigh Roland00 - 29/09/2010 02:28:38 AM 349 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 124 Views
Most of those options were only $20 - $40 more than the base options Tom - 29/09/2010 01:50:20 PM 303 Views
Here is what I would recommend Roland00 - 30/09/2010 05:36:08 PM 335 Views
It gives me an error if I try to set up that configuration. Tom - 30/09/2010 06:19:34 PM 315 Views
Don't worry about that then Roland00 - 30/09/2010 07:09:30 PM 288 Views
I would also recommend the HP Elites Roland00 - 29/09/2010 01:50:31 AM 291 Views
That's what I have. Nate - 29/09/2010 06:53:10 AM 287 Views
im in the market for a new puter and this is the one ive been eyeing.. Paradox Bain - 30/09/2010 01:34:34 AM 281 Views
You might like a Sony BlackAdder - 28/09/2010 11:43:56 PM 310 Views
Sony machines, especially their laptops, are vastly overpriced in my opinion. Morgawse - 28/09/2010 11:55:13 PM 287 Views
If you're looking purely at specs, yes that's true BlackAdder - 29/09/2010 04:36:52 AM 288 Views
I'm fairly sure that Sony no longer makes normal "desktops" Brian - 29/09/2010 12:58:00 AM 319 Views
Correct Roland00 - 29/09/2010 01:52:17 AM 303 Views
That's what I thought. Brian - 29/09/2010 02:54:20 AM 335 Views
hmm, alright then BlackAdder - 29/09/2010 02:37:59 AM 304 Views
Yeah it bummed me out too. Brian - 29/09/2010 02:52:28 AM 308 Views
Re: Yeah it bummed me out too. BlackAdder - 29/09/2010 03:39:52 AM 372 Views
I've found Sony to be frustrating to deal with. Tom - 29/09/2010 01:26:33 AM 300 Views
Yeah they've been going downhill BlackAdder - 29/09/2010 02:42:33 AM 295 Views
HP used to be good, but I've been hearing bad things recently. Ghavrel - 29/09/2010 12:58:44 AM 312 Views
What bad things have you heard? Tom - 29/09/2010 01:27:23 AM 311 Views
HP has many models Roland00 - 29/09/2010 02:01:25 AM 377 Views

If I were going cheap on laptops I would probably go for a lenovo Roland00 - 29/09/2010 03:21:19 AM 821 Views
I had no problem running multiple programs for hours at a time. everynametaken - 29/09/2010 07:11:08 AM 331 Views
I am curious what is your model? *NM* Roland00 - 29/09/2010 01:15:09 PM 132 Views
It was a C500 I believe. everynametaken - 02/10/2010 01:30:29 AM 291 Views
I like my HP better than my dell. nossy - 29/09/2010 01:14:39 AM 306 Views
Did the bad computer lick your apples? *NM* LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 01:23:00 AM 127 Views
No, that would be a bad thing. nossy - 29/09/2010 01:34:59 AM 289 Views
But that Dell was the bad computer. *NM* LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 01:37:09 AM 111 Views
Hmm. I've just made an amazingly stupid post. nossy - 29/09/2010 01:40:02 AM 294 Views
Crack is wack, yo. Stick to grass. LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 01:41:21 AM 275 Views
Dell sucks more dick than a gay boy at his first Pride event. LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 01:21:06 AM 299 Views
I liked your "like a gay for pay frat boy" euphemism better. Tom - 29/09/2010 01:28:13 AM 298 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 279 Views
Re: Dell dick gay boy event. Gaps - 29/09/2010 02:59:38 AM 302 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 113 Views
find a HDTV that can do at least 1440 x 900 resolution moondog - 29/09/2010 02:16:30 AM 294 Views
Good advice *NM* BlackAdder - 29/09/2010 02:43:38 AM 117 Views
Anything designed by Cyberdyne Systems is the future. *NM* jiggy - 29/09/2010 09:51:56 AM 153 Views
I've heard they have problems with their customer service. *NM* LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 11:52:25 AM 123 Views
I heard the opposite. They respond quickly and effectively. *NM* Gher - 29/09/2010 03:36:03 PM 123 Views
No customer ever complains twice, eh? *NM* LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 03:36:52 PM 118 Views
Nope. Gher - 30/09/2010 03:24:23 AM 277 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 363 Views
I'd go to a local place and have them build one Floffe - 30/09/2010 08:36:31 AM 275 Views
