I would never buy Dell products.

If I were to shop for a laptop it'd either be a HP or an Acer.

I'd never-ever consider buying anything that carries the name Dell. Unless it came for free, ofcourse. In which case I wouldn't be buying it.

y dont you like dell

Because they have strange standards like PSU's that don't always fit, you can't buy them in stores and getting replacement parts is probably a pain too. Just like with Compaq replacement parts, except that Compaq made some nifty machines.

On the other hand I would not hesitate to suggest Dell to anyone not capable of building their own machine. I do, however, prefer the business models over the strictly consumer lines, that is Optiplex over Dimension, Latitude over Inspiron, etc. I have had nothing but excellent equipment, stellar service, and tech support in English.  ;D

You should definitely record one of your tech support sessions for us to listen to at CH!

Well, this is a response to a month old post, but not all Dells are bad, any more than all Acers, Compaq, etc. are not bad. The low end models for any company are likely to be less finely constructed, and I'll bet that was a low end Dimension you had.
