DO NOT get a Dell. We have an office full of them, and 2 laptops from them. They ****. We're fighting with Dell now to replace one of the laptops.
x2 stay away from dell

the ones ive had always start fvcking up as soon as the warranty is up

 
Dell's high end computers have treated me really well. My friends have base model Dells and they run quite nicely after I toy with them a bit. If I were you I would look into the Dell Precision series laptops. They are well-built machines with beefy components and cases, and all come with a standard 3-year fully transferrable accidental protection warranty.

They have good prices on eBay.

 
Yep, my mom's keeps freezing and shit. They sold her a backup hard drive for like $250, and that still didn't stop it from getting overloaded and freezing.
that's probably because you download too much shemale ****... that might fvck it up //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif

 
We have about 250-300 dells here, I love the servers a lot but the desktop stuff and low end laptops are kind of cheesy but for $500 bucks I do not expect too much //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Most of the issues have been with the CRT's and hard drives dying, other than that no real issues other than the occasional power supply or dead dvd drive.

Well the XPS's are pretty good from what I hear. I really like the design and size as well

I have my own computer for all your mother's movies. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I'm also not sure how an extra hard drive is supposed to keep it from "freezing and shit."
It's a business computer, and has alot of files and stuff for the company. They said if we transfered all the stuff to it, the computer will run alot faster.

 
Get the m1330.

People who think dells **** probably **** at using computers.

If you're too stupid to wipe it and start fresh the first day you get it, you deserve a comp that runs shitty.

Think that will be to small? I kind of like the idea of it being small though actually

Who told you that Poonjab Mukajeree at the Dell technical support line? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif:laugh:

Chances are it is all the loaded bullshit dell installs on your PC that are causing it to be so slow. Get a fresh non-dell OS install and I bet it will speed it up without free AOL and all that other shit on it.
