Re: [H] Dell Laptop Batteries

[Hayes Elkins]

When anybody asks about what computer to buy, I just tell them to price out 
the cheapest dell possible and then tac on the three year in home service 
warranty. Desktops are all the same commodity crap from taiwan, it's the 
service that you want. Not sure what strides HP has made with their retail 
store brand of desktops, but for a while nothing touched Dell.

As far as servers go (which are about as commoditized as desktops at this 
point) I still go with Dell as the support champ, well gold support at 
least. Technicians generally know their stuff and you are talking to 
somebody in the country without a thick accent. I do however like how HP now 
uses live chat support to mask their thick-accented outsourcing. As I said 
before, I think Indian support staff generally have better typed grammar 
than most americans, lol.
