Is Dell serious about business? The opposite seems to be true.

Maybe us regulars are more use to their web site or just web sites in general?? |

Is Dell serious about business? The opposite seems to be true.
there are indeed other models with backlit keyboards, but like the studio 13
they are not 15" or larger.... "John Novicki Jr" wrote in message ... I believe the Studio 13 also has a backlit keyboard. I saw it at Best Buy this weekend. John "Christopher Muto" wrote in message ... afik, backlit keyboards on laptops with a 15"+ lcd and pre-loaded with xp are... precision m6400 (17"), xps 1730 (17"), xps 16 (16"), and a backlit keyboard is optional on the latitude e6500 (15.4"). "S.Lewis" wrote in message ... "Larry A" ss563 no spam @ymail.com wrote in message ... "AndyHancock" wrote in message ... After reviewing Consumer Reports, I went to the Dell site to order a laptop. No options but glossy display, and only Vista. Tried chat and phone, but they're closed (phone icon says 8am-9pm, but apparently, not). Swum around the site in a few circles trying to find an email address, which seemed highly abnormal in its elusiveness. Finally found a webmail form. Filled in the many mandatory details (most of which only makes sense for post-sales) and got repeatedly asked for a correct address. I took stock of the time spent at the Dell site. The result was an overwhelming sense of futility in dealing with a vendor in this manner. Spending the evening swimming around a site designed to confound the visitor and not getting beyond square one is a bad sign, especially if this is only indicative of presales behaviour. The debacle with the user group forum drives the nail into the coffin. I just came to the same opinion about the web site.I need a new laptop 15-17 inch screen. 2 must haves is a backlighted keyboard and the vista down grade $50.. to xp pro. It seams like one or the other but NOT both. What kind of crap is that?? Larry A Your requirements mean you can go only with either Vostro or Latitude lines. And I'm nearly positive the Vostro has a backlighted keyboard. Not sure about the Latitude. HTH |

Cute grin. * That's why I told him why bother with all the pain of getting a Dell if another is easier to buy. Good advice, being seriously considered. Personally I never had a headache purchasing a number of Dells from their web site but I believe those that say they have. *Maybe us regulars are more use to their web site or just web sites in general?? Stockholm syndrome. Happens all the time. Decent websites are not designed so that only "regulars" can navigate them. I have purchased online before, elsewhere, without the headaches of the Dell site. You should visit their user forum. The syndrome doesn't seem to have taken hold there yet. There is a certain amount of resistance that needs to be overcome before the syndrome settles in like a vice, and the site there is so unusable that it may the resistance might never be overcome. |
