What do you think about getting a dell laptop for college?

Question

Some say dell sucks and breaks on them, and others say to get it

if not which laptop would you get for college and tell me why

Answer 1

i would go with HP, little bit more expensive, but, heck, your going to college, and by more expensive, its only a little bit more, and they last, ive had my desktop for going on 4 years, and i have not had any problems at all, modem even got hit my lightening at these past few storms, and shes fine, so id deffinitely go with HP, or something like that, Dell, if it junks out on you, then you have to order parts from them their computer will not, willllllnottt, accept other parts, if it not certified by dell, they have small programs telling the mother board to accept it, so go with HP, i havnt heard anything about gateway lately, but as the saying goes, no news is good news

Answer 2

Ah, good question!!!! Only a few are using Apple but it is good! Most of the software that is out in the market is for Windows Operating system. Apple is using a different kind of operating system and it is really good! Installing a software in apple mac os x is so easy and simple to do. I guess, what I am really trying to say, it doesn't matter at all whether you decide to buy an apple or dell. Just call your local computer store and ask for their price. But before you do that, go to their respective website and check what you really want to buy before calling. Also, since you are a student, you can get a discount on software/s. Use that power you have by presenting your school id. Hehehehehe

Recently, i read an article from PC World Magazine which didn't have the greatest review for Dell and its computers. Many Dell customers have filed complaints with the federal Better Business Bureau over questionable business practices and failure to honor warranties. Here is the article:

"Lawsuit Highlights Complaints of Angry Dell Customers" -- written by Tom Spring, PC World (http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,132492-page,1/article.html).

I would also recommend HP and Compaq - they belong to the same parent company. They make quality computers and have good customer service. Mac's are very popular now and are used in many large universities. However, the vast majority of the business world use PC's. So, once you graduate from college, you will most likely find a PC at your workplace.

My boyfriend's computer and his sister's computer both ****** up after a short time of owning them and they were both dells.
I have an hp laptop and its pretty good. I would suggest either hp or compaq.

In Reply to the dude a couple spaces above me: Hp really isn't that expensive in my opnion. I bought my hp laptop for only $650. I'm pretty poor so I went with the cheapest one there and hp was it.

Answer 5

I personally have a Dell laptop but one of the major drawbacks is that Dell has set it up so that if anything should break or need replaced you have no choice but to go through Dell. Their replacement parts are EXPENSIVE!!

Answer 6

HP and Dell are the top two selling brands of LTs and offer the best value and choice. The New Inspiron line has been getting great reviews.

Answer 7

You're absolutely right. Dells are the worst. I have one that broke down. They're the worst computers you can get. If you're looking for a high quality laptop for college, you should get a Toshiba Satellite M65-S9092.
