Dodgy dell's

Aside from the motherboard, PSU and case (and I think a good few systems will take a PSU upgrade), what bespoke components are you tied into with Dell?

The desktop systems are not for enthusiasts. For systems that just sit in the corner and get the job done, they are very good.
Avoid at all costs, lol.
 
defo dell produce some of the more reliable Laptops, but they do know how to charge for them. then again you get what you pay for
 
My mate got a dell a few years ago. He didn't know much about PCs at the time which is why he didn't build his own. He wanted it for gaming.... it didn't come witha PCI express slot -_-
 
The monitors they make are exceptionally good quality. The warranty on them is also first class and worth the extra money over other cheaper models.

I've had loads of issues with HP/Compaq laptops so won't be touching that brand again.

My laptop (HP G70 120EA) I bought just over 6years ago for £480 discounted from £680 is still going strong now. HP in my eyes is a good brand :eek:

Many people have suffered the pain from dells. Slow loading times, plastic cover falling off the front, noisy hard drive and unrelibility. From my experiences of working at a computer repair centre basically all the computers that came in where dells. Share your story's here.

1) you probably see more dells than any other make
2) Dell don't make hard drives they use random makes so its nothing to do with it being a dell
3) slow loading times, well they run windows thats the issue everyone suffers from the same issue
 
dell gx 260's, 270's and 280's the caps by the CPU will all be failing by now..

dell gx520's and 620's I think the mobos (or it may be the PSU's) are frequently dud - well i say dud by they last a good few years before they fail

dell dimensions 5xxx one of the memory sockets fails, but you jsut use the otehr one...

dell laptops - well nvidia GPU's will obviously all fail (the faulty batch)

But it is dell's choice to import cheap, noisy hard drives in order to gain a more reasonable profit.

If the hard drives they import in are slow then windows will slow as well.
