I wouldn't buy any other brand but Dell. However I buy their business class line not the consumer line. I order all of the equipment for our office so I can get some good deals.
The only way I will ever own a dell again is if it is given to me.
Bought a dell about 5 years ago and had the hard drive, DVD drive, and screen go out on it in a period of 2 years.
Didn't buy the warranty because I thought $1500 would buy a computer that would last. Also, their laptop warrantys were like 250-300 or something ridiculous.
Two of my friends bought similar models around the same time, all had problems. One them just quit so he sent it in for repairs and when he got it back it worked for a while and then quit again. They tried to tell him whatever the problem was, it wasn't covered and he needed to pay to get it fixed. He told them to keep it and bought a new computer. Other fiend had a his HD go out.
More recently, buddy of mine bought a dell and after about 9 months he had a power issue. Sent it to dell for repairs, he didn't buy the warranty but was willing to pay whatever the cost would be if it wasn't nuts. They sent him a bill for $400 and told him his motherboard went bad. He went to plug the computer in and still had the problem. Evidently who ever did repairs didn't power the thing on before working on it or else they would have noticed THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE COMPUTER, it was the power cable that had gone bad.
Dell is nothing more than scam IMO. Not to mention their reps are just so friendly and have the most American names ever despite having an almost inaudible accent.
Michael Dell better not let me see his ***, ever.
