Dell Laptop

[guang]

I say Dell Laptop is crap.

My brother had one with 1 year warranty,13 months later,hard drive failed.

My lecture has one with 3 years warranty,1 year ago, screen and motherboard were broken.2 weeks ago,hard drive failed.

A friend of mine bought a second-hand dell, now the screen is broken.

Are they not lucky or what?

Dell didnt manufacture the hdd.
All notebooks give this kind of trouble... having said that, Dell's service has gone downhill FAST lately in SA.
ALSO if you order from them, they want cash up front BEFORE manufacture, then you wait for it to be assembled in Ireland before being shipped to SA. Can take over a month! Now that sucks.

Hey.

I have a dell notebook, and can say with all pride, that for me its one of the best laptops that I have ever worked on before (performance and quality wise). A CEO of IssueSoftware also uses a Dell laptop, (one with helluva lot of performance) and used them for years, without any trouble.

I know that Dell's service is sometimes not up to date, but hey, its one of the leading IT companies.

For me, the Mecer laptops are also outstanding quality.

Support has always been good for me.
I have also not had to pay fully or a deposit before manufacture.

i bought an old Dell laptop about a year ago just to use as a backup word processor when i'm away from my desktop.

i'm pretty much impressed - good performance and battery life.

I've used 3 laptop brands: Mecer, Toshiba, Dell. Of those 3, Dell's quality has been by far superior.

They said the incident had frightened them all, especially Nicholas, who had spent the previous week being treated at Nottingham City Hospital after being scalded by a kettle of boiling water on holiday on July 18.

Roug family! Something from a Stephen King Novel... 'still think they're from SA...

The family's insurance claim has now been settled, enabling Mr and Mrs Allen to talk to the Mercury about the incident.

Probably using a Telkom line to speak to the Mercury, that's why the insurance claim was settled first... needed the bucks to pay the Telkom call cost! Looking more and more like a SA story...

A Dell spokesman said that although they believed the battery which exploded was not the original supplied by Dell

Definately a South African story! Bought the battery from a street vendor.

the company was supplying a new laptop as a gesture of goodwill

Dell rulez!
