Troubles with Dell?

In my experience, Dell is over-priced and under-featured. I'd never buy a Dell simply because I can get a better machine for a lower price elsewhere. Case in point: back in August, I was looking for a new laptop computer. I shopped around, looking at online vendors and retail outlets. I finally settled on a Toshiba P4 1.7 GHz with 512 MB of RAM, 40 GB HD, and a 32 MB GeForce440. I paid $1850 for it at Best Buy. A similarly equipped Dell machine would have cost me over $2000 (plus shipping). It's just not worth it in my mind.

Same here... I did some looking around (August), and I scored a nice HP Pavillion laptop for college. P4 2.0 GHz, 256 Mb of RAM, 30 Gb HD, 32 Mb Radeon, combo DVD/CDRW and a nice, spacious 15" XGA Display. I paid $1200 bucks for it...

It's really nice, I love it a lot.
