Dell - Hell!

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 There is No complaints line, or opportunity to review products ...

Review of Dell Inspiron 1545 Laptop

Inspiring Inspiron from Dell

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. I had a limited budget but wanted to get her something with decent enough spec for playing computer games should she wish to do this, and a large hard drive as she is a big fan of making videos on her digital camera and downloading music - two things which can eat up hard drive space. I did a fair bit of research before purchasing and decided I wanted to get the best spec I possibly could for my money and the Inspiron ticked all the boxes. I paid £399 in January 2009 in Currys for the laptop which was the absolute limit on my budget. The Dell I purchased has a dark blue coloured lid, however the rest of it is a shiny piano black which looks lovely.

Review of Dell Inspiron 1545 Laptop

Dell Laptop

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. ...
