Commpaq Is $150 cheaper.

Which would you buy?

 

Eh, Dell.

 

I have had my dell for 4 years, running strong. They seem to use higher quality components which is really the only REAL difference between computer manufacturers (well that and customer service). I don't know if you are dead set on those brands but you might want to check out newegg.com if price is a big concern.

 

Why don't you . . . . eh, never mind.

 

Ditto. When you sell that many laptops a day (no one else comes close), you can sell them for alot less profit margin than anyone else.

 

 

Dell's customer service people are from who knows where, can never understand them. Thats the only part that sucks.

 

Yes Kobi I know. I'd love too... absolutely love too.... but $550 vs $2K.... both are going to be worthless and ready for the trash in about 2-3 years... So throwing away $550 sounds better. $275 a year vs $1000.... I hate throwing away money.....

I was getting ready to walk out the door and go get the compaq when my buddy called and we were talking he reminded how much trouble I've had with the HP (which is who makes Compaq....)

 

Ah, is that what telephones are for?

 

Actually it was on messenger......

 

You said he called.
So you lied?

 

He can't help it. He's an alcoholic . . . no, wait, he was molested as a child . . . no, wait, he's a victim of some sort . . . no, wait, it's a disease . . . whatever, he's not responsible.

 

I'd have to vote for trying to get a Dell also if possible. Check out Dell's outlet.

I picked up a "previously owned"(had been sent to a customer, but the laptop had never made it past the EULA to fully boot it up) and saved between $100-$200 if I remember correctly.

 

I bought a refurb Dell Latitude from the Dell Outlet for about $400 cheaper than what it would have cost new with a three year warranty. I use it pretty hard as well for work, so far, so good.

 

Go Dell or Go Home
