Nice, but I repair more Dells (hardware and software) then any other computer, hands down.

Buy something else.

So do I.

I am not sure but I think that it has something to do with the fact that Dell is what my company buys...and what the largest percentage of others buy.

DELL's are reliable. You just have to accept that you get what you get. All that an average consumer needs. Most of the DELL problems that I have seen were caused by a short between the monitor and the chair.

I'd rather work on a Dell than any other mass market name brand. They are built better and are easier to work on.
