Default Dell computers

I know some people make Dell's out to be really bad computers. Are they really as bad as some people make them out to be?

What do you think?

I have a Dell computer, and mine works very well, but then again my friend has one also and her's sucks really bad.

Well being that I have taken Comp A+ and Network Repair classes, I would say that Dell is really too expensive for the stuff you get.

I would say that they have the best customer service, but storage and graphics you could get much better

My parents have had a Dell for 6 years and it still works great, even after Iwas on it for 4 years with all my programs and stuff. They are a great computer.

i have one and its crashed twice but it all depends on what you get put on your computer at first. i loaded mine with 80GB of memory, and i still have 55GB left after 2 years of having it. some ppl's computers crash because they are somewhat computer illiterate, and download random stuff from sites when they contain viruses and so on. they need to teach MORE computer classes in school. lol
but yeah dell computers are good for me.

I don't know why some people complain about dell, I have never had a problem with dell. my desktop in my house is a dell, and my family has had it for over five years. now i have a dell laptop, and I think it works great.

Yeah, it really depends on what model you have and how old it is, etc. I got mine just 4 or 5 months ago and of course it runs really nicely. (i have a dell)

Dells are good (though still overpriced) for people who don't use their computers - and I mean really USE their computer. I'll clarify what this means:

NOT using a computer:

chatting online
word processing
internet browsing
dvd watching
most (not hardcore) gaming
downloading (music, videos, images)
photoshopping the way 98% of the population does


REALLY using a computer:

programing that actually does something useful
math humans cannot computer in under an hour
high-end web design
professional photoshop, flash, etc
high-end gaming
media production
