Pre-installed software, Mail-in rebates, supposedly 24/7tech support (please hold), and problems with the OS.

False advertising, meaning the computer specs state something better than what is actually installed in the computer. My parents bought a few computers from Staples and the sticker says it has 512 MB of RAM, but when you actually check, the computer lists it well below 512, one is around 300 something and one is 128 MB of RAM. Good thing it was not my computer, because I would totally be angry, which is why I build my own computer, I will know that everything going into is exactly what I want.

the associates flood you with too many choices then flood you with more options on accessories, then you have more to think about.
dell is a good way to buy a computer because they ask you what you want. they dont introduce you to many options just to get more money out of you. they build a computer for your needs

"Free" programs that require me to give somebody money to make them really work. MIcrosoft tends to take over the comp. also.
