I'd suggest the opposite...my family has owned 4 dell computers since about 1999 or so.

We've had I think two major problems the entire time. One was that our newest was DOA. The first one we purchased would randomly die every hour or so.

Both times they shipped us brand new computers within 48 hours. You can't beat service like that.
