Just to be the contrarian I am, I'll say that dell is still actually pretty good...

Maybe that's the issue. I bought consumer XPS's. One had a fan go out after 1 year. One had a keyboard failure out of the box. My co-worker had hardware issues on theirs.

It was too many issues in too short of a span.

All consumer grade though.

Maybe business is the way to go.

I had an XPS laptop from 2008 which constantly overheated. I ended up having to remove the bottom of the case and put it on a stand to make it usable.

One day a bolt of lightning struck the house across the street and it died instantly.

Used the insurance money to buy a macbook pro and never looked back.

>> Used the insurance money to buy a macbook pro and never looked back.

And that MacBook will probably outlast 3 Dells.

When my new Dell failed out of the box, I switched to my 6 year old MacBook pro I had waiting in the wings and was able to keep on working. It worked great until the new work MacBook arrived.

When I have to turn my work MacBook in, buying myself another MacBook. And still have the trusty 6+ year old one in the wings.
