Clobbering Dell’s quality and earnings are fashionable now in tech and investment circles, but I’ve never been more pleased or more ready to become brand loyal to a computer maker.

As I outlined this Epinion, I thought about the computer...

Pros: You Get Just What You Want, Fair Price

Being the cautious type, who likes to do plenty of research and comparison before plunking down a large chunk of change, I was impressed with what I found at Dell's on-line website. There were a variety of both desktop and laptop computers to choose...

Pros: Good price, packaging, and software. Excellent Options.
Cons: Loaded with lots of stuff from Dell. 4300 not that much more expensive.

Ordering a Dell 4100 series was my first time ordering a non-server business machine for an office environment. I was familiar with the Dell web page, but selecting this machine was confusing since there seems to be an overlap with the 4100 and the...

I have been a home PC owner since 1987 having such brands as IBM, Compaq, and HP. I needed a new PC and decided to buy a Dell Dimension 4100 computer. I was totally happy for 6 months. Then the problems began.

Pros: Rock Solid, Speed Demon
Cons: Didn't come with a bag of chips.

You might be asking yourself how the mere act of turning on a Computer could make someone feel like they were getting away with murder.

When I turn on my Dell 4100 I feel bad and powerful at the same time. I feel bad that my brand...

Pros: Very good price for performance, Dell quality and service
Cons: DOA, but diagnosed and fixed quickly, shipping was delayed

Aloha! I bought my Dell 4100 system online in October 2000. It has been four months since its arrival and I am very pleased with my purchase. Aside from its initial and very surprising DOA, it has given me no problems since.

From the...

Cons: Some hardware configurations may cause problems with multimedia usage.

I have always built my own machines, dating back to the days of my first 286, and have generally saved a lot of money that way, if not time. That's because when something doesn't work, YOU have to do the digging around on the web for information, and...

Pros: Fast, lots of memory, hard drive galore!

Pros: Affordable price, great customer service support, excellent speed, performance, and quality.
Cons: None yet

Recently, I was looking for a computer to surf the internet and for my son to work on educational purposes. I am so clueless when it comes to buying a computer, but I decided to look into Dell because at my two work places, we have Dells everywhere. So I...

Pros: Owners' forum, speed, price, warranty.
Cons: no graphic card applications, slow modem, no Dell solutions

I can't believe previous reviewers discussed Dell and omitted Delltalk. What's Delltalk? It's the owners' forum where every bug in every Dell pc ever made has been discussed, and most cured BY OWNERS THEMSELVES. Try to wait until the end, but if you...

Pros: Once fixed it runs pretty smoothly
Cons: Comes with ME, even though it was designed for 98, & 2000.

Being the youngest son of our family I evidentally was appointed to be the "computer" child. If the VCR is flashing 12:00, I get to fix it, if the computer crashes, I get to fix it. Unfortunately for some reason when we purchase a new computer my input...
