Dell notebooks are cheap, I believe they start at $499. I've never owned one, so I can't attest to the quality.

Yes Dell are excellent. My last laptop was a refurbished Dell. It worked perfectly fine. I had it for three years and it still works, but my husband now uses it for music programs etc. He bought me a new Dell Inspiron B120 laptop at a really good price and that is what I use now. Yes! Dell new or refurbished are fine. I like them.

Dell laptops are worth it if you go with the higher end models. The cheaper models by dell aren't really worth the price, you don't get as  much stuff  as say HP (less ram, smaller harddrive..etc.). You said that the specifications are the same though..so yeah, go with the Dell. Dell computers are real reliable plus the costumer service is great if something does happen. Dude it's a Dell

If you buy directly from Dell, you can get some really good deals.  They are awesome computers too.

If your primary activity will be internet browsing you don't need to buy a $1300 laptop of any brand. I agree you only need to make sure it has good connectivity options. After that, just think about the size want and you'll be good to go. The best deals right now are in 14" and 15". I would recommend a sub-$1000 H-P/Compaq or Dell. Acer will work as well, although their service isn't as responsive as H-P and Dell.

If you are looking for the best deal Dell is the perfect place. I did some research when i was buying my computer and Dell truly has some good offers.

Dell is pretty good overall, but not the best.  For general use, you can pick Dell, HP, Toshiba, Acer ... etc.  Recently, I bought a Acer 8200 for school and for general programming stuff, and a Sony SZ-120 for business and they're both are very good computers.  As to the 6400, the 6000 has received great reviews, and 6400 is so new that not too many reviews are out yet, so why don't you wait a bit longer.  What is your major?  Most laptops last about 2 to 3 years, and a bit less on the battery.  Good luck!

I have 3 laptops, a Toshiba, an HP, and a Dell.  I have to say the Toshiba is by far my favourite.  Dell has the most options, but their prices aren't the best, and their laptops are consistently heavier and run hotter.  The hp's are OK, although their battery life tends to be weak.  My Toshiba is just an awesome little machine - great screen, good battery life, good performance, low price.\n\nI'd suggest looking for one of the new Sattilite models with the Intel core duo processors.

Dell has the best systems for the money. But if you build your own, which is pretty easy, you get way more for your money. Whatever you do, stay away from E-Machines

Are you talking desktop or laptop?\n\nI'm very happy with my Dell laptop.  For a desktop I think you could get something very good quality that wouldn't be as expensive as a Dell.

Dell.com without a doubt. I've heard experts from Geek Squad say this every time they do an interview on the radio, plus I have one myself, and many of my friends do too. If you call you can specify what you need and don't need so you don't pay for anything you already have, such as a good mouse or keyboard, or even monitor if you have a new one. A lot of times they run free shipping which will save you  almost $100. I would check the website daily for a week or so to get an idea what a good price is as they change often, but with research you can get a great computer at a great price.

After owning many brands, I will not own anything but a Dell.  I have had problems with all the other brands.  Dell provides excellent service and the computers are excellent.  Also, you can get your  computer made the way you want it.

Best Buy usually has some well-suited laptops on sale.  We got a Compaq for $650, and it was fitted for wireless and has a very up-to-date processor.  Toshiba, as mentioned, are also usually on sale for under $1000.\n\nDon't buy Dell.  The models start out cheap, but they hook you with the customization and the things you "must add" to make it really good for a university student.  You'll end up spending well over $1000 on a Dell.

It's worth it. I brought a Dell laptop about a year ago. It's actually what I'm using to type this answer right now.\nI have never had a problem with my Dell. There are many more computers out there that do the exact same thing and have the same features that can easily cost $1000 more than what you paid for yours. Dells are good computers and they are a reasonable price for everything that they have.
