<p>that's great except that it's a dell :P thats the only drawback :)</p>
<p>dell rocks. my inspiron 8000 has served me well for 4 yrs.</p>
<p>i dont have a problem with dell desktops.. just dell laptops.</p>
<p>inspiron 8000 is a laptop.........</p>
<p>Dell is great, I was looking at other companies, but I realized that dell had the best deal and offered the highest performing laptop I could find. I wanted to buy from some other vendor, I forgot the name, but I was researching it and it was just the THE laptop to get, it was just amazingly loaded with all sorts of the best features. The dell XPS is a piece of **** compared to it. THe only reason I didn't go with it is because I was buying the laptop through the Hospital..therefore, it would be cheaper, and the hospital didn't want to buy from that company...they only wanted to buy from Acer or Dell. Acer being a piece of ****, my dad has an Acer and that thing was crashing left and right I would have to keep repairing it about once a week because something would become corrupted. I went with dell. I know several people who have dell desktops and loved them, so I figured it would be great. Then I also went with Dell XPS because the performance reviews rated it as #1 when compared to other name-brand PCs like gateway, HP, and ibm. Voodoo PC is out of the question as you pay for the name. I built the same laptops the Dell XPS and Voodoo PC and the voodoo PC was a good $2000 more expensive--for the same parts mind you.</p>
<p>My only complaint with the XPS is that they force you to get a quicksnap cover (all look like crap). I just popped mine off and the laptop is just so sleak looking, it's hard to figure out why Dell even wanted to put a quicksnap cover on there.</p>
<p>i just will never buy a dell.. i have my reasons, and until they start treating their customers right, and making quality products, i will not use one. a friend of mine actually was in the process of filing a lawsuit against dell, but dell finally decided to give in.</p>
<p>i have a toshiba laptop, and i (personally) feel that they make the best laptops (outside of IBM and apple)</p>
