The dell business desktops the rest of my colleges use on the other hand are terrible, failing components, (hdds Graphics cards being the main issues, and random full speed fans! Saying that my xps laptop is still going strong after 2 years Touch wood. The only issue ive had is my son broke the screen on it though that was a pretty easy £40 DIY fix and surprisingly easy to get a new screen that was the exact same spec.Last edited by Lebowski; 07-02-2020, 12:32.

I was pretty sad when for office work we switched to HP, their workstations are less durable than Dell's and are bundled with the worst keyboard I've ever used; HP's monitors aren't as ergonomic too.

Originally posted by vanpeebles View PostI like Dell laptops, they are made to disassembled and repaired/upgraded. That's clever design. Not sticking together with industrial glue like apple and the ikernts.

Otherwise I could pay to have someone spend several hours opening everything all up and examining it but find nothing.
A little unsatisfying. It's like when a doctor tells you that's just how it is now! He could well be right and it could be the computer but feels like, without getting to the bottom of it, I'm just inviting it to happen again.

Not really an irk but was up all night playing New Vegas til about 6.30am as I knew I had nothing on today and I'm trying not to go out and needlessly spend cash.
Set my alarm for 13.27. Forget to click ON.
Wake up at 18.01 after a long dream where I've been rude to people a lot in it, yawning in their faces as they talk.
A wasted day. But, still, an 11hr sleep...'well rested' bonus, lol.

I give in. How do you ask the morons at Amazon about settling a dispute?
I ordered something on 8th December. Expected delivery 13-16th.
22nd December I sent the seller a message. Ignored.
28th December another message. Ignored.
I can’t for the life of me find where to get Amazon involved on their dire website.

Just related to the computer discussions, my computer is still dead but I had a few Dell computers in storage so dug one out and had to open it up to check how much ram was in it. Anyway, having opened up my other computer and this Dell computer within a few days of each other and being able to compare the insides, one thing was instantly apparent - in spite of being in very similar environments and the Dell being newer than my own computer, the Dell had loads of dust inside where my normal computer had next to none. Whatever way that thing is designed, it invites dust in somehow.
