I figured things were getting ugly. I bought a Dell computer for my son for Christmas and then found a better cheaper one shortly after. I cancelled the Dell order and the rep was begging me to reconsider including offering me 25% off to keep it.

Never a good sign.

Had a couple of Dells. Neither lasted more than three years. When the dreaded blue screen popped up on the last one, I swore off Dell forever.

Three years isn't good enough!

Dell was practically giving these away at $549.00 (+ optional $10.00 overnight shipping) up until midnight on 2/2/14:

Now they’ve gone back up to $649.00, but still a bargain considering the specs and the builtin 3-yr onsite Dell factory warranty (and Windows 7 x64 to boot!)
