stay away from Dell Computers

[John R]

I had 250+ Dell PCs & Workstations & Laptops and another 15-16 servers - all Dells and they were and are great products. Best overall Bang for the Buck - not necessarily thr best though. Generally low failure rates and good pricing models.

However, I will say that their service has gone downhill considerably in the past 2 years. When all of these companies cut back, they didn't do it in just their production facilities. The lion's share was their support systems and much of the balance of their support got outsourced to other companies...

Would I buy them and use them again, absolutely. Would I expect to have few problems with customer service - nah...
