Advantages: Great build, value and support Disadvantages: Obsolesence as with all PCs
...this my first PC from DELL online in April 1998. The Dell Dimension XPS R400 had just been released and this was first purchase online at around £2000. I was able to order slight changes to the base specification without being penalised for having a bespoke PC system rather than a mass prepared one. The order fullfilment was easliy tracked online.

Dell have a great deal of information about each system on their web-based support pages and you can download latest patches and drivers say for instance if you have upgraded the operating system to Windows 98 as I have. The Dell PC experience continues to be a positive one and I still have onsite support until April 2001.

Advantages: Good machine, reliable, Disadvantages: After sales tech support
