Dell - coporate versus private (none / 0) (#7)
by Anonymous User on Tue May 15, 2007 at 10:27:57 AM PDT

We use Dell laptops and desktops exclusively where I work (Fortune 50 comany) and the service and system reliability has always been top notch. I recently bought a new desktop computer for my son (our third new Dell system). In the past I have bought the almost latest and greatest model (one step behind sticker shock). I should have researched the system more thouroughly this time rather than believe the marketing hype. The hardware does not perform nearly as well as advertised and there is no upgrade path. The motherboard design is about as cost-reduced as it can get. I would have returned it but my son managed to ding it up enough the first few days that they would not have taken it back. Next time...
