Get an HP/Compaq. Dell warranty support sucks ***. Unless you are Indie...

 

Im with Jay on this one. I have a Dell and will never again buy one. Call tech support and it takes an hour on hold to talk to someone, then when you do they are from India. I bought my phuckin computer in America , and no I dont want to speak to someone in India. How about someone who has spoken English all their life. I can't understand you when it sounds like you are chewing on cotton while you're speakin to me. So yeah DELL SUCKS ***!

 

f dell get a sony or an Hewlett Packard or if you really want to show the up get alienware these are bad a$$ ***** unlimited customization.

 

or just build one yourself ya *****

 

hrmm ever dell if i had (personal and corporate) , if there was issue the next day they were over fixing the prob or cross shipping something to me..


Hp/compaq are cluster****s when it comes to software
