I am talking PC. I've heard mixed things about Dell, but you've been happy with cert. refurbished?
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
yes. absolutely. I got my current laptop from there. but I decided to get a "previously ordered new" one. It apparently wasn't booted up. I did buy an extended warranty (which I recommend for laptops anyway). I got a much better laptop than I could have afforded anyway for a reasonable price.

I've had very bad luck in the past with Dell machines. I've not purchased them in a few years so they may be better now.
For the past few years all of my laptops have been either Toshiba or Apple. Toshiba has some great prices on their lower end models and I have found them to be very reliable.

I have had my dell (Inspiron 700m) for at least two years, and it's been quite reliable. ::crosses fingers::

My issues with Dells have all been due to lack of compatibility. They use a lot of non standard motherboards and the like and they've screwed me more than once when trying to add things like a new video card or new audio cards to machines. Chances are most folks don't have those issues.

Anyone know if you can make an Amazon wish list address hidden?

Hey. New board.
There's a setting to make them private. When you make a new one, it's private by default. I don't really know exactly how to do it, but poke around.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
gloom, gris is right. just poke around. I did it months ago and it wasn't that difficult. it is probably in the wishlists menu.

Hey. New board.
Actually, I just went and looked, and I have a big button on the left that says "Make this list private."
