My sister has a Toshiba laptop and my daughter has a Compaq laptop. \n\nMy sisters Toshiba has had three screens go bad in the 11 months she's owned it. It takes 45 -60 days to get it back. She must ship it to them for repairs and pay for shipping both ways. Its still under Warranty. Getting through to their tech support is difficult at best. She has used her new laptop about 2 months out of 11.\n\nMy daughter has a Compaq laptop. She goes to college and does alot of her work on it. A couple of days after her purchase, she noticed it was getting very hot. This is after several hours of use. She called Compaq tech support and they explained the situation. Then they had a cooling pad sent to her free of charge. No more overheating problems. Then my grandson slammed the lid down hard and damaged the screen. Again she called tech support and the next day a repair shop called and arranged to pick it up and take it in for repair. Tech support made sure a screen was shipped to the shop overnight. Within 36 hrs of calling tech support it was repaired and sitting on her desk. No charge.\n\nI have a Compaq desktop and have called HP tech support at least a dozen times. Never for an equipment problem, just operator problems. I've never waited more than 2 mins to get through and received excellent support. They spent as much time as it takes to resolve any issues. Five hours with me once.\n\nTo me it is also the support of the product that counts.

Either call Dell and tell them it's a piece of crap or do yourself a favor and return it.  I've had 2 Dells and neither lasted 2 months out of warranty.  While in warranty they were slow, took forever to get on internet, they said there wasn't a problem.  Take it back and do yourself and your friends a favor- tell everyone not to buy a Dell, they're cheap for a reason.

I suggest you to go for HP...simply they are the best in Laptops for the past 10+ years....their support through out lifetime is another asset...they are technically advanced hence rated best.....if you are looking for cheaper one....then Dell could be your option.\n\nGood luck.\n:)

when dealing with Dell, which I own, be sure and check the DELL OUTLET area!!!  I purchased my computer from the Outlet and it came with everything I needed (programs) and even some extra ones!!  it a computer worth over $700 and I got it for less that $350!!  they may have what your looking for in the outlet, but be ready to purchase, you can only hold items in the outlet for 15 minutes.  Grab a couple friends for their imput, have them gather round and help you search for the best deal.

Dell has some great deals on their computers right now and for the holidays. You should check them out because they have good features and prices. The only problem is that they don't have a store where you can purchase the computer right off the bat....you have to go on the website and order it and have them ship it to you. Here is the website though...they will customize it for you to whatever you desire in the computer.\n\nwww.dell.com\n\nAs far as what to look for when buying a computer....I have helped out a few of my friends with their computer needs and they seem to be enjoying their computers. The two most important things to look for is a good hard drive that is 100GB or more. Desktops range from 250GB to 500GB. Laptops go up to 150GB and you can also buy external hard drives to save even more things in. I have that and believe me, having an extra 100GB is very useful. So basically, the more room in the hard drive, the more you can install programs and save pictures, music, etc. \nThe second important thing to look for is the memory. I got my Dell laptop (only 3 pounds and tiny) and made sure that I got 1GB memory. You can get 2GB memory as well for both Desktop and Laptop computers. The more memory, the less the computer will crash and the less the problems of freezing. The good thing about Dell is that you can customize the laptop you will buy before having them ship it to you. If you want 1 or 2GB, you can ask for it. But with other laptops, if you want to buy them right away from the store such as Best Buy, it will not be customized. So if you go to your local computer store and you see some great laptops that only have like 70GB hard drive and 512MB or memory, you're going to be stuck with that because the store cannot change the computer's hard drive or memory as per your needs because the actual companies that manufactured the computer before selling them to the computer stores to sell to you only customized it for the general user. Not for you. So that's why I recommend Dell. \n\nAnother very important thing to look for is the Pentium processor. Centrino is pretty good and is useful for mobile technology (wireless internet and other things). You should look for good Intel Pentium processors. Most of the computers will have the latest pentium processors and those processors is what makes the computer run efficiently. Go to www.intel.com and check out what they have coming up. \n\nMake sure that the laptop has an internal wireless card built in or a slot for you to put a wireless card in if you want Internet. That means that if you want to use the Internet but without the cords and hassles of plugging in something to connect to, you can use the wireless adapter to use the Internet wherever you are sitting with the laptop. You can either subscribe to get wireless Internet while sitting at a cafe with your computer, or you can get a good DSL or Cable company to come and install the modem in your house and then hook a router so you can get wireless Internet without plugging in any extra cables. You can even jack someone's wireless in your neighborhood pending that the person doesn't have it secured with a password. \n\nMicrosoft Windows Professional is good. Windows just came out with Vista but it is not yet compatible with everything so it's better to get a computer that has both Professional XP and Vista installed to use instantaneously. \n\nMake sure the computer comes with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook, etc.) so you can use it to do your work. Buying the software alone will cost you about 198 bucks unless you got a buddy who already has the software. Then your buddy could just install it for you on your laptop. \nMake sure you buy a laptop that has a LONG battery life! My uncle bought a Sony laptop that had such a horrible battery life that I had to keep it on with a charger. It was quite irritating. And another thing, make sure it isn't too heavy. The laptop

2002 not that old. You can buy a cd-rom drive somewhere online from a computer store. Replacing is a child's play, just slide out the old one and insert the new one. Having an external drive kind of defeats the purpose of a laptop. If you familiar with eBay, there are several item for sale, ranging from refurbished to new. This is a refurbished DVD/CD-RW drive ending in 6 hours: http://cgi.ebay.com/DVD-CD-RW-COMBO-Drive-DELL-INSPIRON-1100-1150-5100-5150_W0QQitemZ130046271653QQihZ003QQcategoryZ64474QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem\nThis is a new one (much more expensive- about $100 - but still):\nhttp://cgi.ebay.com/8X-DVD-RW-Burner-Drive-Dell-Inspiron-5100-5150-5160_W0QQitemZ200046119016QQihZ010QQcategoryZ64474QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem\n\nGood luck

what articles? the ones you get through forums from anybody, or did you go to dell. they usually tell you every thing to do in detail. here's their site and suggestions for your pc:\nhttp://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dsn/en/tree?c=us&cs=19&journalid=5170A3EF98E511DABDFF85A0E486CE68&l=en&s=dhs&treeid=8D6EF73F9874488880A6CDD994900DD9\nIf this dont work and your still under warranty then you gotta call tech support so they can service the laptop. and dont be suprised if they say that the battery is not covered under warranty (batteries usually don't have as long of a warranty).

It depends on what kind of laptop. I know that many Dells at least can't be upgraded. The best thing to do is to go to your computer's manufacturer's website and look up the information there.

Looks like you have done most of the troubleshooting. Call up Dell. They would assist you in probably replacing the drive if the system is within contracts.\n\nBut they might ask you to repeat the steps you carried out and a few more, just to make sure its not the fault with the operating system.\n\nGood Luck!

You have to decide weather to have a very good hardware with a regular service (this is HP) or a Good Hardware with a very good service (this is Dell). If you have a Hardware failure, HP will last much longer than Dell to replace the hardware part; but it is clear that the HP hardware is better than Dell's. So you have to decide if you can wait many days to have your laptop working again after a hardware failure with HP or have it working again in 24 hours with DELL. Notice that you'll have less hardware trouble with HP.\n\nIn my particular case, I prefer Dell, just because I use my laptop for work, so I cannot wait many days in case of a failure to have my laptop working again, but that doesn't mean that you have the same situation as mine.\n\nHope this helps.

The desktops are slow and cumbersome but the notebooks are great. I have both and I want to get rid of the desktop!!! It gets so sloooow after a while (I don't know why). Both of the Dell desktops I have had do this.

Personally, i have always like my dell and am favored toward that brand.  Mine has lasted 4 years or so, is still fast and up to date.  If you take care of it with anti-virus software and anti-spyware tools, it will last a long time.\n\nIt looks as if they are pretty close, but with the 120GB HD, I would go with the dell.  Students tend to fill up that HD pretty fast.  \n\nAlso, please use a coupon, you can always save a couple hundred dollars on a good laptop.  Dell has a coupon available until the 9th, but they do have a good turnover and publish coupons every week.  Here is the coupon and details:  http://www.24houredeals.com/dell-coupons-23-mer.html
