dell good but....
Hi. I do not normally post in this forum but it is good to read all the comments about Dell. First I would like to say that I have a Dell Inspiron 8200 that I bought 2 years ago. I had configured it to the higest specs avaliable at that time. P4 1.2mg with a 64ATI vid card and it cost $5200. I would like to say that it has never let me down so far, except that the vid card sometimes cannot handel intense use.
I do have two gripes about Dell in asia . First they do not have the top systems avaliable in the states. That is a real let down. Dell is allways trying to top out the competion in USA ,especially ALIENWARE , and so they come out with really good notebooks, like the XPS
Its the first with a 512 graphic card,(I think).Wow.When I first asked the Dell repesentative a year ago if this system would come to sin.,they said probably,but it has been 2 generations of XPS already and still no good news. So I have determined that one would have to order it direct from USA if you really wanted it(and had the cash).
Next there is no trade in policy as well. If you wanted to upgrade, you would have to sell your old Dell to second hand dealers who are more interested in more brand names like Sony. Thus you will not get a good price. How does Dell expect to retain a loyal following like this?
Dell rep says that they can take in your old system and recycle it for free! That means the entire cost is totaly gone.This would no doubt lead many to look at other brands who mostly offer trade in for new purchaces. Dell take note
Thats all. Thanks.
