| 222390 | 2004-12-29 02:35:00 | what are the dell laptops like guys? are they any good? YES, Anybody who told you otherwise would probably say dell make bad/substandard servers which is patently untrue. Even Metla will tell you this on a good day. You must know wheather you want a desktop replacment or a true mobile laptop Reasearch and buy accordingly. The d505 and its updates are a good example of a truly mobile machine 4hr battery(Working) and fast charge. Down side the price ex dell new after the minimum upgrades to make the units viable is not good value for money. Remember laptops are nowhere near as upgradeable as desktops, so the dell laptop does not suffer the same issues as the desktop. However the totally anti dell clan can not see this. Ex lease or ex demo the can offer very good value for money and do not have the shorter life cycle of the toshiba and to some extent some of the no name brands. D. |

And they are very light and compact, and quite fast for the price too. Desktops, well they are very cheap but I would never buy one, or recommend one. Actually I might, if the user was specificly looking for one they can just "pick, buy, plug in and use". Where they want it to be just like a television, and don't care about anything other than it working. And don't live in Wellington or Wanganui :p. Other brands are much more horrific than Dell.

| 222392 | 2004-12-29 05:19:00 | yeah i am looking into a new laptop and was thinking dell, mostly due to their advertising camplaign on tv which caught my attention :p but im not to sure on the price of them, are they resonable for the spec's they have? i will probably get shot for asking this but what are those dell laptops like from the warehouse? | Prescott (11) | ||
| 222393 | 2004-12-29 09:31:00 | Don't let anyone shoot you Prescott. I have seen one laptop there for a stunningly low price - about $120 cheaper than the cheapest I sell. But it was actually OK. It was $1399 I beleive, 2.6Ghz Celly D, 256MB Ram, 40GB HDD, 15" LCD. Not bad for the price. No idea what they're like for warranty though. |
