Advantages: in my case none Disadvantages: dealing with a faceless organisation
I have been trying to purchase a laptop from Dell and you would think they would be keen to get business, but no, twice now they have cancelled my order with no notification to me. I only found out by calling them to find out why delivery had not happened. The third occasion after lots of apologies and assurances i agreed to continue with the order.
The delivery date has now passed, I have tried to check the order progress but it will not accept the booking reference number, my 'Sales Manager' has not returned my calls or emails and I have just been told by the 'Customer Services' the order has not been processed and they did not know why.
If considering purchasing a Dell online I would think very carefully of the implications of any follow-on service you may require

Advantages: Good spec, reasonable price, great processor Disadvantages: The piano black surface attracts dust and dirt.
I purchased the Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop back in January for my daughter's birthday.

The Dell I purchased has a dark blue coloured lid, however the rest of it is a shiny piano black which looks lovely. I would have preferred metal for the mousepad area - it feels sturdier and doesn't seem to attract ...
Advantages: Looks and feels good, easy to work and carry about Disadvantages: battery broken within a year
This laptop is really good. however I have owned mine for just under a year now and the battery has broken so I need to get it fixed which is very annoying. Apart from the battery breaking I think that the laptop is great and I would buy a Dell laptop again. I use my laptop everyday but i would have expected the batttery to last longer, especially seeing as it is dell. Now I have the hassel of getting the battery fixed. I would still reccomend this dell laptop to other people as it is good value for money and looks nice etc and apart from the battery the laptop is easy to use and I haven't had any other problems with it. Dell is usually a reliable service and hopefully it wont be too bad having to get the battery fix, if not then I can buy a new battery. ...
