Dude, I am tired of Dell
I recently had a hard drive crash, which I told you guys about. Brand new Dell laptop. A week after I got the new hard drive, the battery died.
And now... And now... And now, the freakin' hard drive crashes again. Fortunately, my data is backed up but I will have to spend a week waiting for a replacement and then a couple of days to get back on track again. If possible, I'll try to switch back to a Compaq instead.
I have two words for ya: Dell sucks :evil:

What kind of laptop do you have? I've heard the Lattitudes are much better than the Inspirons...

Dell Pocket PCs
I hear users are having trouble with Axims as well. Any truth to that?

Sorry to hear that you are still having problems with that Dell. Steer clear of the Dell laptops and you should have much better luck. :way to go:

Exactly. As the owner of one Inspiron and 4 Latitudes (plus a few dozen others coworkers use, you couldn't PAY me to take another Inspiron and you couldn't pry my latitude from my cold dead fingers. 0X

Hey - what brand is Dell buying that is so unreliable - perhaps they can drop that supplier - and still have the most value vs price computer. Dell don't manufacture jack.

The hard drive brand is Hitachi. I know Dell doesn't manufacture jack. They just sell it. And it stinks.

And I have a C640 that I've had not trouble with and loads of Compaq laptops that are crap. I'm sure the same company that makes the Dell laptops makes the Compaq/HP laptops too....
