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...

It's been ages since I bought a computer or had to look into buying one, but... Legolas - 28/09/2010 11:06:32 PM 375 Views
your average dell is a piece of crap. LadyLorraine - 28/09/2010 11:10:16 PM 358 Views

Do not buy dell *NM* Roland00 - 28/09/2010 11:18:11 PM 140 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 334 Views
I've worked at multiple companies using all Dell. They are shit. everynametaken - 29/09/2010 02:48:13 AM 330 Views
I'm not 100% sure they make desktop computers (I mean, I imagine they would)... LadyLorraine - 28/09/2010 11:08:19 PM 353 Views

I am very partial to both Acer desktops and laptops. Morgawse - 28/09/2010 11:15:02 PM 356 Views
Just give Tom a heads up Roland00 - 28/09/2010 11:20:17 PM 344 Views
just a heads up about gateway, don't expect customer service. LadyLorraine - 29/09/2010 01:14:56 AM 332 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 332 Views
Okay, now what will you use the desktop for? Roland00 - 29/09/2010 01:49:15 AM 336 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 147 Views
I just looked at an HP computer... Tom - 29/09/2010 01:21:25 AM 476 Views
Sigh Roland00 - 29/09/2010 02:28:38 AM 381 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 333 Views
Here is what I would recommend Roland00 - 30/09/2010 05:36:08 PM 370 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 319 Views
I would also recommend the HP Elites Roland00 - 29/09/2010 01:50:31 AM 330 Views
That's what I have. Nate - 29/09/2010 06:53:10 AM 321 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 314 Views
You might like a Sony BlackAdder - 28/09/2010 11:43:56 PM 357 Views
Sony machines, especially their laptops, are vastly overpriced in my opinion. Morgawse - 28/09/2010 11:55:13 PM 326 Views
If you're looking purely at specs, yes that's true BlackAdder - 29/09/2010 04:36:52 AM 322 Views
I'm fairly sure that Sony no longer makes normal "desktops" Brian - 29/09/2010 12:58:00 AM 350 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 334 Views
Yeah it bummed me out too. Brian - 29/09/2010 02:52:28 AM 343 Views
Re: Yeah it bummed me out too. BlackAdder - 29/09/2010 03:39:52 AM 407 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 334 Views
HP used to be good, but I've been hearing bad things recently. Ghavrel - 29/09/2010 12:58:44 AM 344 Views
What bad things have you heard? Tom - 29/09/2010 01:27:23 AM 344 Views
HP has many models Roland00 - 29/09/2010 02:01:25 AM 411 Views

If I were going cheap on laptops I would probably go for a lenovo Roland00 - 29/09/2010 03:21:19 AM 854 Views
I had no problem running multiple programs for hours at a time. everynametaken - 29/09/2010 07:11:08 AM 367 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 340 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 324 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 324 Views
Crack is wack, yo. Stick to grass. LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 01:41:21 AM 307 Views
Dell sucks more dick than a gay boy at his first Pride event. LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 01:21:06 AM 329 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 318 Views
Re: Dell dick gay boy event. Gaps - 29/09/2010 02:59:38 AM 334 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 128 Views
find a HDTV that can do at least 1440 x 900 resolution moondog - 29/09/2010 02:16:30 AM 331 Views
Good advice *NM* BlackAdder - 29/09/2010 02:43:38 AM 129 Views
Anything designed by Cyberdyne Systems is the future. *NM* jiggy - 29/09/2010 09:51:56 AM 171 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 308 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 398 Views
I'd go to a local place and have them build one Floffe - 30/09/2010 08:36:31 AM 310 Views
