Don't
The kit is mostly fine. But then, so is everybody else's these days. If your transaction is absolutely normal and uncomplicated then you might have a smooth ride.
However, if there is the slightest hint of something unusual requiring a personal touch from a "consultant" then the appalling internal comms at Dell will result in the screaming ab-dabs - big time.
My client's home - next door to mine - was temporarily uninhabitable. She placed her order in my workshop, on-line, requesting delivery to my address which is one number different to that registered for her American Express Card. Same street, house number one different.
She did this three ways: verbally with her consultant; on-line; and with authority from American Express.
Dell cocked it up and DFS held the laptop for a week in their depot waiting for authority. No complaint against DFS here.
After Client jumped up and down, those nice people at the Dell call centre in India were apologetic and gave her two extra year's warranty
plus a free carrying case.
But, guess what? The carrying case was sent to the Client's address and they refused to authorise its delivery to mine.
You couldn't make it up, could you? I've bought six Dells; they haven't always been made of the best kit - particularly the tape drives I had were a cheap job lot and all three failed early; hard drives were unreliable and the early flat screens were the industry's throw-aways. But the latest flat screens have a better specification.
I'm impressed by AMOFW's stats. On the face of it, he is informed opinion. But manufacturers will always give better level of service to corporate clients with big orders/wallets and be less attentive to the little men. Sony are the same.
The market's awash with good, reliable kit. Get yourself a good reliable supplier. With Service like this, it won't be long before Dell goes to the wall - at least in Europe.
I say again, Don't.
