45% Normal
21 Comments ⇓

I hear people on the web all the time talking about how dell sucks. why don't people like dell? Is it because they think dells are ugly? is it the customer service? or are the dell bashers just mac fans? I personally don't like apple computers, I prefer substance over style. Does dell have that substance? Is Dell Normal and worth the money?
Do you think it's normal?

deil sucks the best com is a macrosoft pc running xp everything else is crap
I dont like brand name comps they are expensive to upgrade and you dont have a choice what parts you want its just the brand youve got only and Dell comps are cheap pieces of crap alright for someones first comp but no good for serious net users
I'm not entirely willing to have Dell computers but I do like the idea of personalising a PC to your requirements.

I happen to work for a electronic company and come across customers who purchases the topline computer not realising that they are not going to fully utilise the processor power or the hard drive.
dells are crap and they are ugly, i build my own pc's but if i were to buy a brand it would be hp, they look better than dells

Well not all people can build their own PCs so I think Dell approach is quite good.

I wished other brands did the same but that would involve them charging higher prices which customers these days are quite sensitive, something Dell realised earlier when they first started.

your a dork.
looks are what quality is, if something looks ugly then it's low quality, and dells are ugly
The XPS Laptops from dell are all pretty to me. I love them all, esp the M1330/1530. The Studios are great too
I have a dell, im on it right now and it fucking sucks. It always freezes, it wont hold a charge and its sort of slow. It is not even that old either, and i paid a shitload for it. They are not worth the money in my opinion. Go for a Sony Vaio instead
My home PC is a dell, and I love it. I have had very few problems with it I am running Windows XP on it and it has been great. I ordered it with all the features I wanted right from the company so yes I like Dell. It has become my wifes computer now I don't even use it since I purchased my Gateway laptop computer.
How is the Gateway laptop working out?
I have had it for around 28 months now and have had very few problems with it. I have had a few of the keys fall off, but they are easy to put back on. I would not hesitate to buy another one.
I have a Dell Inspiron 6000. I got it about three years ago i believe. I agree Vaios can be overpriced but one of my friends bought a used one and it works so smoothly. She has had it over a year now.
sorry meant that for quadmaster
yeah its a laptop. I liked it at first but that went downhill after a few months
All computers reeze. It may not be the computer it may be yhe server. Or you may have virses or spies.
Good luck
I LOVE DELL.
I HATE APPLE.
Okay first off, mac computer are SO damn expensive, Dell computers are amazing and they work really well.
Hmm, substance over style you say? you must have not used an apple lately...hmm let me look through some of my findings. Aw here we go

"Apple: Best computer to run Windows Vista" PC world
"Apple: Best customer service on the market" CNET
"Apple: Your not going to get a virus with a Mac" Leo Laporte
"Apple: One of the only tech companies to not only do better than in 2007, but better than EVER in 2008 in terms of revenue!" Walt Mossberg, Bloomberg,

There's 4 different aspects of Apple that are all substance :)
i have a dell and its nothing but problems time after time and even when i take it in the get fixed which is alot it comes back worse.. so customer service sucks more then the comp does and everyone i kno says they hate them and they suck and they shoulda told me beforehand
I've had a few Dells and never had any problems with the hardware.
They are easy to customize on their web site. They are ready to go out of the box. They are very quiet machines.
I put Linux on them when Windows gets too bloated to run on the old platform, and they seem to last forever.
I don't have any idea about their after-sale customer service since I've never used it. I would pull out my intestines with a dirty fork before I call someone on the phone to ask how to use my computer.
I don't trust the reviews in computer magazines. They are heavily influenced by advertisers.
I've had good experiences with HP, but so far have preferred Dells for personal purchases. I'll be looking at Apple for my next purchase because I've heard good things, but I'll be comparing features and prices -- not just brand names.
Oh, and Macs don't get viruses because they have such a small market share, they are not as attractive to vandals. There's nothing intrinsically safer about Mac, especially now that it's on the Intel chip.
