| 825262 | 2009-10-29 07:15:00 | Hi All. Over the years, Dell did not appear to have a good name for quality. I saw today, when I was in Dick Smiths, that they are selling them. Has the quality improved? Thanks PJ |

| 825263 | 2009-10-29 07:16:00 | Personally I still trust Toshiba's and Asus's the most, but I've known a few people with Dell and they haven't said too many bad things about them... In terms of failure rates PC Tech's like WT, Wratterus etc may be able to advise you on that.. Blam |

| 825264 | 2009-10-29 07:18:00 | Yeah I'd trust Toshiba the most. Dell are basically who all the big corporates use, that or IBM ... so yeah they're pretty decent, and their on-site follow-up warranty support is good too! | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||

Has the quality improved? Thanks PJDSE sells a lot of junk - just because DSE sells something doesn't make it good! That said, my experience with the corporate models on a very large scale (thousands) has been pretty good; they tend to be reasonably reliable. I have no comment on the stuff they target at home users. |

Their higher priced ones use better quality components and generally aren't to bad - hence the higher price. NOW if they just didn't load all their " phone Home Crap" it may be half descent. |

| 825267 | 2009-10-29 09:00:00 | Used to have a Dell at work for software testing, it was alright (at least never broken down after a lot of abusing - over 20GB of files deleted from and written to the disk every day, kicked by QA's every now and then when they got frustrated); except it wasn't designed for future upgrades - couldn't fit more components in, the PSU wasn't in standard size, probably a common issue with brand PC's. | Software Developer (15363) | ||
| 825268 | 2009-10-29 09:04:00 | DSE sells a lot of junk - just because DSE sells something doesn't make it good! Totally agree! Especially their own DSE brand of products, most look so cheap (actually they are indeed for the budget market). |

| 825269 | 2009-10-29 10:43:00 | Totally agree! Especially their own DSE brand of products, most look so cheap (actually they are indeed for the budget market).Well it's not really DSE-brand stuff at all - it's just whatever generic cheap junk they can find that nobody else can flog, and they throw their own logo on it and use brand-power to sell it to suckers who don't know any better. That said, cheap junk can be useful, and it doesn't always die - it's just cheap junk, no more, no less. |

| 825270 | 2009-10-29 16:08:00 | I remember the warehouse used to sell Dells a few years ago, cheap crap. Do they still sell them? (I haven't been to the warehouse in 6 years!!) The only good thing about dell is you can configure a machine you want online directly from them, getting it from a shop doesn't really make sense. |

| 825271 | 2009-10-29 20:44:00 | Dell use to sell cheap crap but now there consumer computers are good quality at a good price. i currently own one of the dearer xps models and i am very happy with the features, build quality and performance. They aren't the second largest pc manufacturer in the world for nothing. The one brand you shouldn't trust is ACER, unreliable Chinese junk. |
