Advantages: competitive prices, easy to order, good support
Disadvantages: only saw the product on my computer

...the point, i found the Dell website, and i was saved. It's best feature was that you could input exactly what specifications you wanted, and the price would be updated instantly on your screen. In my case I wanted next day on-site cover for 3 years instead of the one, and that only cost an extra £75 which isn't too much to ask for peace of mind. My computer arrived on-time (and all in one piece), and i could also track it's shipping progress over ...
...thoroughly happy with it. No problems at all. My tip is that you just have to go ahead and get the best model you can afford, it's no good waitng for a newer, faster model becasue you'll never be satisfied. As long as it's got everything you want, just go ahead and order it. ... Read review

Advantages: quality / warranty / solid
Disadvantages: none

I bought my dell pc just over 2 months ago because of a review in a pc mag when it came out tops on the specification offered for the price. I went the whole hog and upgraded. There is still no pcs on the market today which can match the spec. Despite that, even if they did, i have heard of too many horror stories for high street retailers like Time. There warranties do not come near the collect and return facility offered by DELL along with first ...

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Fairly Slow

I got my Dell a couple of years ago when it was a top of the range PC. The Dimension XPS R450 is a hard working machine with a great spec for a commercial machine. Unlike many companies, Dell do not bundle your PC with tons of stupid peripherals that are poor quality or useless. My Dimension XPS 450 came with a Epson Stylus 640 printer, and no Webcam or rubbish scanner which wouldn't have got used anyway. This system has 128MB RAM which is all you ...
...a P2 450 processor it is more than fast enough to run any programs available at the moment. The 12.8 Gb Hard Disk has tons of space for the average home user and it comes with a Zip Drive to back up your work anyway. This system comes with a Toshiba DVD ROM which is great for entertainment. The only problem is that the speakers on this system could be better as they are only just powerful enough to listen to the DVD. I recently upgraded my system ... Read review

Advantages: Can play the latest games, fast boot-up, reliable, runs cool, runs quietly
Disadvantages: Price is a little steep, not all games are compatible with Quad Core processors

...built XPS 420 directly from Dell which contains a 2.40GHz Quad Core processor, 4GB RAM, an Nvidia GeForce 9800GT, and all the other good stuff a computer needs. I ordered it late night on a Sunday, and I had it setup and working by the Thursday. Best of all? Shipping was free! Between pressing the power button and the computer being ready to use, you are looking at around 30 seconds. This includes me entering my password to log on. I see this as ...
...hadn't been for the current Dell offer and a discount code I had at the time. I will admit, I wouldn't have paid £920 for the system, no chance! Since starting the computer for the first time, I haven't had a single problem with it that wasn't caused by a faulty disk or my lack of patience. I would recommend it to anyone, even gamers. ...
