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.

I disagreement Acid Man because although they have "cheap" prices, they provide Technical Support if you have trouble with your Dell. Also they have high quality processors and they are great. See for yourself\nhttp://www.dell.com/content/products/category.aspx/notebooks?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs

Dell have great warranty. But the quality is not so great. It also depends how much of a pro are you in building your own computer... You should also think if you want to upgrade it after. It's much easier to upgrade a custom made cumputer than a brand one.

It's as good as most others.  I don't know where they got the reputation for quality - they're assembled from the same parts that any brand name computer has.   I'm not crazy about their tech support which requires you to chat with an artificial intelligence before they elevate your problem to something that should be handled by a human.\n\nThe one thing Dell has going for it is the Wallmart-like stranglehold on it's manufacturers, which keeps their prices very cheap.\n\nThe worst thing I can say about Dell is that you won't be able to buy a computer with an AMD CPU, which means, for the time being, you won't be able to get the fastest computers.  However, you'll be able to save enough money that you might get more for your money if you're not going for a top-of-the-line machine.\n\nBeware of the add-ons if you do go with Dell or most brands, for that matter.  That's where they get you.  The warranty, the leather case, the printer, etc.  Most of those things can be purchased for less money elsewhere - especially the RAM.  They always give you the bare minimum RAM so that the base price looks low and then they gouge you to upgrade to more RAM.  If you want to save a bundle, just get your RAM from another store (search pricewatch, that's a good start) because it'll be much cheaper and RAM's super easy to pop in.

Not a Dell. Anything but a Dell. Really all depends on what you are going to use it for. If you just use it to type and go on there interent then you reall dont need an expensive one. But if you are going to play games or download a lot of stuff then you will need to get more mem and hard drive space. I woud say for the person that does a lot on the computer you would need 512 of Mem and about 60 GB of hard drive. I would go with a Pentium M (Centrino if laptop). But if your not going to do that much on it I would go below those specs and save you some money. If you want to get a good deal on some good PC go to this web site. www.ubid.com. I got my laptop there for 800 and it is worth more then 1200. So good luck on finding a PC

I would sugest looking on Ebay for comparitive bids.\nYou can bookmark the auctions and see what they end at.\n\nI the screen wasn't scratched, the screen was bright, you had the restore cd.s (or restore partition intact) and manuals I would say a easy $850\n\nI wish the hard drive was a tad bigger for the price.\nMost nicer systems like yours have 80, 100 or 120 gb.

Dude, you bought a Dell... and you got boned...HARD (if you paid anything near $2,000+ for it).\n\nOdds are, you are going to need a new motherboard to get any appreciable increase in speed over what you are using now.  \n\n______________________\nUPDATED:  FYI, when Dell shipped computers with RDRAM, there was a tremendous premium on that memory compared to the (then and still now) defacto standard, DDR.  Same goes for the HT processors, which show only marginal performance increases over their non-HT-enabled counterparts.  (Many applications perform much worse with HT enabled.)\nDo your wallet and applications a favor and invest in an ASUS motherboard, an AMD processor, and some quality DDR RAM.  \n__________________________\n\nIn the future, NEVER buy from Dell, unless they start shipping machines with AMD processors, which are a better set of products, hands-down.  Dell is great at mass-producing scores of inexpensive computers, loading in a few "high-end" parts and shipping them out the door at a tremendous profit.  All at your expense.\n\nWhen anyone who is really into computers say "Dude you got a Dell", it isn't a compliment.  Think about tht when you buy (or build) your next machine.

Look at the Dell Inspiron E1705 for $879.00.  \n\nUse E-Value Code: 6F914-DNCCGX1.  Good luck!

Dell's legendary customer service is no longer so legendary.  Their systems are often overpriced and the warranties have gone from a year to 90 days.  I paid for the total warranty (against spills, drops, etc) and it still took me 6 months to get my Dell Inspiron laptop replaced, so I defintely do not recommend them.\n\nLately I've been seeing a lot of Acer machines, (a friend of mine has one).  They are a good value for the price.  \n\nA word of warning, regardless of which brand you choose....beware buying the bargain basement laptops.  Often they only come with 512 MB of memory shared with the graphics card.  I guarantee that if you're doing anything more intensive than checking email, your system performance will be very crappy.  Especially if you plan to play games, listen to music, or anything multimedia related.\n\nIf you have the opportunity, get a laptop with the new dual core processors, they are much more efficient.

I have Dell brand PC. Usually their deals are pretty good...I believe so that this particular deal is not bad. Go for it...

CPU? RAM? Harddrive space? \n\nYou provide no info. And no, you did not get a good deal because Dell is garbage. They are kind of like AOL, they advertise the heck out of a horrible product and get people to buy it.

See if your town has a 'Thrifty Nickel' kind of free newspaper.  They usually have listings for used computers and accessories.  I bought an older IBM computer with Win98 and a decent monitor for $90 from a man who bought a bunch of computers from a local college.  If you can live without XP, you might do better.  You can still access the Internet and do word processing on older operating systems.\n\nIf you want to buy new, try a place like Office Depot for EMachines desktop PCs.  They've been offering some really good rebates lately.  When we get our rebates back, our new computer with XP, monitor and Canon printer will only cost $300.
