HorseShit · 06-12-2007, 01:16 PM

I'm thinking of going with a Latitude 131L.. anyone have one of these machines specifically?

The Duck · 06-12-2007, 01:17 PM

dell laptops are fucked in the fucking head

tranza · 06-12-2007, 01:30 PM

Never used one. Here's a bump for you...

Scott McD · 06-12-2007, 01:34 PM

I gave up with Dell altogether untill they get actual English speaking workers at their call centers...

KILL_FRENZY · 06-12-2007, 02:15 PM

Never used one but I've heard that are good

Peaches · 06-12-2007, 02:16 PM

I just ordered one - Inspiron E1505. I've been using an Inspiron 8600 for the last 3 years and it's been great. Had another old Dell that's at least 8 years old and my brother's still using it (and thinks he should get my 8600 as HIS upgrade when I get the E1505.......).

CIVMatt · 06-12-2007, 02:16 PM

Best laptops I've ever used

tomud · 06-12-2007, 02:16 PM

Tomud

badmunchkin · 06-12-2007, 02:20 PM

they're cheap and ummm.... cheap - not much else to say about 'em - I have one and it's slow as shit

Babagirls · 06-12-2007, 02:21 PM

I have a dell laptop and love it. BUT if you're looking for good customer support, don't go to dell. Once I called and I literally couldn't understand *a* word that the outsourced guy was saying, so I asked for his manager...he was worse! lol I hung up, called back, and got a broken-english speaking woman. I gave up at that point. And they don't send the Windows OS cd like they used to. You have to buy it if you want it. Sucks.

PinPine · 06-12-2007, 02:23 PM

Ordering was a bitch, but I have had 2 dell laptops, a gaming machine and a low weight 12" inch laptop. Both are great and easy to expend when it comes to memory.

LadyMischief · 06-12-2007, 02:24 PM

O man are you right about the damn Support! I ordered a laptop online & they ended up calling me to verify. I couldnt fucking understand a word this dumb chick was saying, The laptop had come to around $6000 after loaded it with all the best shit. The girl was trying to verify all my info & for whatever reason didn't beleive I was who I was even though i had just gave all my info, credit card, & had a copy of my ID faxed to them. After trying to understand what this chick was sayign for abotu an hour I ended up cancelling the order all together. 3 days later they had a manager call me to try and get my business back and I told him to call me back when he learned to speak english properly or hired someone who didnt arrive in the country on a floating door.

Peaches · 06-12-2007, 02:34 PM

Support totally sucks. I ordered a powercord, they sent it DHL, our DHL guy apparently won't come up here from ATL if it looks like he won't get back there by 5PM and kept screwing up telling their corporate office where the package was (our OLD DHL guy - thankfully I have a friend whose husband's a VP at DHL and the driver we USED to have no longer has a job....). I told Dell since I'd ordered it overnight and it had been A WEEK by then, I'd appreciate getting another one sent FedEx overnight. They said "OK, we'll get that out in a 7-10 days" Oy.

zango- · 06-12-2007, 02:46 PM

i would not go with a dell laptop unless you want to play Russian Roulette
they are unreliable mother fuckers but those oversees whatever you call them who answer the phone sure do make up for the shitty hardware.
if you do get a dell go with Inspiron not a latitude, they seem to do better but either way get yourself the extended warranty and a bible to pray it doesn't break a day after your extended expires.
best of luck and let us know if you buy one so we can all pray for you.

OG LennyT · 06-12-2007, 02:55 PM

bought my Dell laptop on EBay.. loaded Win XP.. runs like a fucking champ... when she dies, fuck it, I'll buy another

Peaches · 06-12-2007, 02:57 PM

One of the options I got on mine is a LoJack - I'm sure I overpaid but damn, that's cool

Plus if I ever need to find myself, I can call them ;)

bDok · 06-12-2007, 03:11 PM

i hate dell laptops. junk.

rapmaster · 06-12-2007, 03:23 PM

I have had a few dell laptops, none made it more than a year

their customer service is terrible and it will be a while before I give them another chance

I hear they've gotten better but I wouldnt put money on it

Michaelious · 06-12-2007, 03:46 PM

The XP9 looks really good.

donkevlar · 06-12-2007, 03:48 PM

One time as a practical joke I fucked every female employee at Dell.

Man, do I hate their computers.

minniesoporno · 06-12-2007, 03:52 PM

I have an insprion 6000 I am happy with the Laptop just not the customer service at Dell. so I am thinking of selling it just not sure who is going to buy it.

Cash · 06-12-2007, 04:22 PM

I own a Dell Inspiron 6400 , it's very good. Buy from here:
Dell notebook

Hell Puppy · 06-13-2007, 12:17 AM

Up until approximately a year ago, I would've whole heartedly recommended a Dell laptop. But they're really slipped in quality and reliability. Two we bought last summer were total nightmares. I've also got a friend who runs micro support for a Fortune 500 company who has dumped them due to extremely high failure rates.

I've been buying HP's for replacements since last Fall and have had great luck with them.

Donkey Punch · 06-13-2007, 12:24 AM

I've had an inspiron for about 3 years now.

It's awesome !

I've had a couple problems, but Dell took care of them promptly.

Even when one problem was out of warranty (before the lawsuit). They still took care of it.

I guess since the lawsuit was won, my warranty is extended until this winter !

my Inspiron 8200 I've worked on for over 3 years, REALLY worked it to the ground too, and I'm STILL working on it right now, very very very happy with it

I was just looking at dells website for a new laptop. I got angry yesterday and it looks like my laptop monitor and harddrive is broken now,

*note to self: never beat the shit out of things that doesn't feel pain. *

Catalyst · 06-13-2007, 03:11 AM

yea I dont have that.. I have a d800.. and I love it.. I have dropped it a couple of times. and it still runs great.

natas · 06-13-2007, 03:20 AM

I've had my dell laptop going strong now for 18 months.

It's never fallen over once and I've taken it all over the world...couldn't reccomend them more.

I would definately buy another

mike741 · 06-13-2007, 03:41 AM

2 hard drive crashes in 3 years Inspiron 8600 - no more dell - i use now TOSHIBA

Star 69 · 06-13-2007, 07:15 AM

I am using Toshiba

Jim_Gunn · 06-13-2007, 09:53 AM

I have been using a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop for over three years now and I am happy with it.

Farang · 06-13-2007, 10:09 AM

I have one, Inspiron 9400

B2BwithJoeD · 06-13-2007, 10:17 AM

I use the Inspiron 9400 too and it's been great

A little large for traveling, but fast.

buzzy · 06-13-2007, 10:19 AM

I had an XPS M1710 2.33 ghz with 2gb ram, but sometimes it would go to the blue screen and id have to restart like at least once a week...

TGVinny · 06-13-2007, 10:25 AM

I don't mind Dell, mine is still running strong and I've put it through bedlam! However, I just use the Laptop when I can't use my desktop!

PersianKitty · 06-13-2007, 10:28 AM

I have an Inspiron 8500 that I bought several years ago just for traveling. Never a glitch. Both my sons lived on (gamed on) Dell laptops until I bought them both desktops.

I also have Dell XPS desktop that I've had over a year now. Something funky happened with the on/off button on the monitor I bought at the same time. They shipped me a new one next day air, no cost to me.

My son's GF just recently got an HP dv6500T that's a nice looking thing, but not sure how it's gonna to long-term.

I'm getting ready to replace my Inspiron because people have used and abused it (other than me) when I'm not traveling. Hate to though.. it's fine for the basics that I do when traveling.

PK

Peaches · 06-13-2007, 10:36 AM

This is interesting - just canceled the order for the E1505 after seeing I can get the 6400 with XP (I'm tired of lugging around the 17 inch) and some of the options offer "3-yr North-American based support" and "Dedicated North American-based technical", lol.
