Does Dell make good computers?
I'm considering buying a Dell Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 and was just wondering what people think of Dell as I have never owned one. I am either going with this or one built by my local PC shop. One downside to the Dell is that i can only get Vista on it whereas the built ones i can get XP. Anyways, i just want to know how well Dell systems stand up.

Dell products are solid for the price, as is the support (never tried Dell Home, and I wouldn't suggest it). I haven't 'home-built' a computer for myself since 2003, and don't think I ever will, again.

I've used nothing but Dell now for years. I have nothing but good things to say about their computers. Their support has slacked a little bit since it's either India or South America. But what company doesn't use a third world country for support nowadays?

I love dells when they have coupons and shit. Personally I watch slickdeals and if they have a truly great offer I'll bite. I kind of wish I'd have just picked up my Q6600 system from them because by time I bought all the parts and put it together I'm OVER what dell would have charged to BUILD it for me. Obviously I have higher quality RAM, overclocking options, hard drives in RAID etc BUT I could have popped in some RAM and a SATA RAID card and been set.

I was a bit worried about the quad cores being so power hungry and hot.
I left mine on for a week while recovering data from severely fried medium. I got most of it back, and the machine, although unhappy, didn't have a problem with ambient temps of 100f.

I now have a dell desktop and laptop here, and both seem really good. Had them about 4 months. Only issue so far is the laptop has a dead pixel in the screen. When I asked Dell about getting it fixed, they said a single pixel does not fall under warranty coverage.

If you massage around it, it can usually fix them. My Inspiron 6400 came with two dead pixels, and I was pissed. I took a soft cloth, rubbed around it, and at the edges of either side (down towards the plastic), and eventually 'rubbed out' the defect.

I love my Dell's, I've bought at least a dozen over the years and don't regret a single one of them. Make sure you get their onsite warranties, they're worth every penny.

The Quad Cores are very power efficient compared to previous generations of processors. Realize that when idle they're exceptionally efficient. Yes, Dell makes great systems. I've been buying their desktops and laptops since around 1999 and the last few years I have added around 500 of their servers and am very pleased.

Just make sure you know what you are getting. They were recently found guilty of defrauding customers.

Well I guess they make good products bec. the name of the company is very "IN and demand" in the market and most of the people also patronize their products. So I guess it is.

Thanks for all the replies. Do a lot of programs not work with vista? I still use some pretty old programs some even from windows 95/98 days. Will most of those still work?
