 Has anyone purchased a Dell computer lately

I would not buy a DELL if it was the only one making them. We have dozens at work, last year 60+ bought to update all OS and Software. DELLS support for small consumers sucks. We have a gold service account for BIG BUCKS, at least they speak English and can troubleshoot issues over the phone. But it takes almost forever to get thru the automated answering stuff and transfers to get the tech.

I did go to the local shops that will build one of what I need. The prices are very close. I like dealing with the local vendors, some have gone and some new ones replace them. Bottomline is I gotten exactly what I need/want with all the hi end graphics. I did buy my laptop thru my son who buys direct from IBM thru his IT dept.

I like to be able to haul the box, 1 time in 10 years, right to the guy that built it and if I need to crawl across the counter and grab him by the throat I can. So my kid is easy.

Putting a PC together is not rocket science. NON skilled workers plug in parts all day that someone told them to plug in. Most of the time they work.

I would not build one because I do not have the time to research what will work with what. And I sure do not have the time to deal with a non english speaking check list reader that is gonna send me parts to install and hope that it was right and if not they'll send me more, SIGN HERE and RETURN...

SORRY WE MISSED YOU CAN YOU CALL AND RESCHEDULE YOUR DELIVERY? YES YOU DO HAVE TO BE PRESENT AND SIGN, WE'LL BE THERE SOMETIME BETWEEN 11am and 5pm. OH SORRY YOU HAVE TO STAY HOME FROM WORK TO RECEIVE THIS BECAUSE WE HAVE TO HAVE A AUTHORISED SIGNATURE. OH BY THE WAY THERE IS A REDELIVERY FEE.

Yup you can buy it cheaper from the lowest bidder and get what you get, software and all.

Or you can have it built locally exactly the way you want, with only the software you want, by someone who speaks English, lives and pays taxes in the community and barring a vacation is avaiable to trouble shoot any problem with the thing, anytime. Drive by, at break time, drop it off shoot the bull for a couple of minutes and pick it up on the way home.

Might as well get rid of our local tractor dealers and only have 1 or 2 brands and have parts shipped to us. SIGN HERE...
