I have access to an alienware and an XPS2...

Even though the Alienware is technically a slightly better spec then the XPS2 the Dell runs Daoc and most games a hell of a lot smoother.

Saying that both laptops are wonderfull and run all games smoothly!! Both are gorgeous.

dont buy dell!
they are fine until they break....

If you buy XPS all the customer service is through a special XPS only dedicated office... all english/american people who know thier stuff.... the customer service is good for XPS...

but normally.. yes dell is shit on thier low budget stuff.

If you do go for a dell , try and get the Buisness support on it , and of course a 3 year warrenty , and the Complete care ( Woops dropped it down the stairs ... not to worry it's covered).

This is it... you havnt tried the XPS xustomer serivce.. i have.. they are VERY good and VERY efficient....

and your problem was a few years back? they have had a few years to up thier service... and i bet it wasnt a XPS system?

I have had terrible serive from normal dell, i orderd a PC (non-XPS) and then canceled the order... but it came anyway and they took the moeny.. took me ages to get them to take it back and get my money back....

but the XPS serivce is a completly different part of the company, almost a completly different company...

oh i dont take offence mate dont worry :)

I understand why you are of that oppinion... most people are... and i was at one time... its a stigma Dell have and quite rightly deserver for thier dealings in the past have been terrible!!

I have just been so impressed with dells support with my XPS over the last 4 months that i dont believe that side of the company deserves it :) and i find myself a bit of a dell xps activist in this life ;)

Your correct... Custom will always be > then built for you if you have a good builder... but one thing that you get with a made and named is the warrenty and the lots of testing on the parts pre build.

I've had 2 Dell desktops dimension PC's.

The build quality is shite. The interior design of the tower case is appalling.
They are full of useless software you don't need or want (bloatware ?).
Noisy, hot machines prone to breaking down and breaking apart.
Their customer service is one of the worst I've ever experienced.

I'll NEVER buy from Dell ever again and I would NEVER recommend anyone to order anything from them.

Cowboy sales people who don't know what they're selling and who couldn't care less if their customers are pissed off.

Might as well rename them PC World and be done with it.
