My first Dell. . . I have some Questions. by
Mike
1. Do they include the Windows XP CD with computer?
2. Do they include any recovery disks? If so, what specifically are
they? I know with HP they have a Recovery Console CD and I think a
System Restore CD. They don't include it with the computer though.
They only give it to you after your computer...

Some Kudos for Dell by
Howard Nelson
Lots of complaints on usenet so I thought I would give a compliment. I
recently purchased a used/refurbed Latitude C610 from Dell Financial
Services. price was very reasonable. It arrived 100% functional with a
unexpected new dell laptop case. Had both CDRW/DVD and Floppy with connector
for floppy...

Buyer Beware! Don't choose a DELL! by
Jim Dep
Here's my experience.
The first week of April 2004, I am considering ordering a Dell
Dimension 8300. I tell the sales rep on the phone that I am undecided,
will look at other systems first before making a decision. The sales
rep tells me " If you order now, I will upgrade your CRT monitor to...

GRC Spinrite by
Monica
Do you guys think that it can FIX my hdd that has been compromised by a
0zx24 stop error.
I need for the drive to be fixed just long enough to run a couple programs
so I can run their backups. Ubuntu let me recover data but I need to run a
couple programs.
This is everything I've done to no...

To those people angry about not getting their OS CD... by
Tiffany
I just noticed that Dell actually has a utility that allows you to burn your
own:
http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/kb/en/document?dn=1091713&c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19
This begs the question about why none of the support people mentioned this
though.

dell vista upgrade license? by
georgie
When you use your Vista upgrade to do a clean install on a second hard
drive, don't you have to stop using your original XP install that came
with the computer? I see lots of posts about dual booting to "test"
the Vista OS before committing to it, but isn't that just plain
"cheating"? Or am I...

My daughter is up at UC Davis, CA. She sent this note at 1:34 am last
night, and I'm just reading it this morning. I haven't contacted her
yet. Her machine is a Dell Inspiron 6000, about 18 months old, running
XP. It's still under the original 2-year warranty. She does have
access to her...

Interesting Customer Service Experience by
Journey
I called to extend my laptop warranty from 2 to 3 years because I like
it a lot and plan on keeping it at least that long.
I was transferred to one area first, I believe it was Customer
Service. They had to transfer me to another area which is for
warranty sales.
I received terrible service from...

Dual Core vs P4 by
Hank Arnold
Which would you get? A Dual Core Pentium D 820 (2.8GHz) or a P4 650 w/HT
(3.4GHz). I'm leaning toward the latter..................

Oh, the BLOAT! New PCs are so slow! by
yep
I haven't bought a ready-made computer in years. I either build them new or
rebuild old ones. I put Win98SE or WinXP on them, Word, Nero, PSP, Power
DVD, AVG, etc. They always run nice and zippy.
Well, I finally got a factory fresh Dell Inspiron, Celeron 2.3GHz with
256MBs. WHAT A DOG!!!...

Laptop Performance Revelation by
Ron Reaugh
Some small format/ultracompact laptops suffer from a major performance
deficiency that is being hidden by laptop manufacturers. I'm curious if the
Dell Latitude X300 series or other models are one of these.
Intel CPUs come with built in thermal sensing and self throttle when too
hot. Some small...

Cheap eMachines work well for us by
Tien
Hi,
We used to buy expensive Dell computers. Recently we have bought few $600
eMachines and they work great for us. Just wondering if it's really worth
it to spend over $2,000 for a Dell computer... What do you think? In case
eMachines is no longer good for us in the future, we just buy...

Goodbye Dell, Hello IBM or Toshiba? by
Giganews
With repost of my negative experience with Dell at bottom, I'll also copy
and comment on some interesting and constructive comments from folks in
these newsgroups:
- Basic warranties last only as long as manufacturers expect machines to
last.
Perhaps so, but having both the motherboard and screen...

Another bad support experience! by
DavidB
I spent over 2 ½ hours myself trying to resolve an asinine sound problem on
this supposedly 'splendid' Dimension 8200 and, of course, their Help and
Troubleshooting files are miserable. So not wanting to waste anymore of my
time I decided to call dell's magnificent support. The wait on the phone...

OK --- a question of ethics by

Just curious as to your opinions.
Just a very quick summary as my saga has been memorialized in a bunch of
threads.
I have a desktop and a newer laptop. I wanted to back both of them up. I had
a very hard time getting the CD/DVD s-ware to mesh on both computers. Long
story-- but I eventually gave...
