Knock

Worked great for me. Leveled to Jedi and eBayed my acct. $1500.00 ty SOE

I found that Dell has decent deals and the resell value is pretty decent as well. I have a dell 9300 laptop I am currently reselling for 1400 bucks after buying it (via a Gov't discount) for 1700 bucks. So not a bad resell for a year old laptop.

I have the XPS 600 at home that replaced my still working alienware aurora. no complaints with the dell. sure, i had to uninstall some crap via add/remove, but that took all of what..10 minutes? Then I captured an image of my rig after I installed Office/WoW and some movie editing software and it screams.

dell has good products for the conscience consumer. if you dont mind spending a few minutes of you life uninstalling crap from a discounted PC, who cares? I see no failure in dell's train of thought. Although I admit, I certainly did chuckle about this:

More bad wording. When you actually get to configuring your machine, the site offers you "no pre-installed software [included in price]". Gee, thanks Dell for not charging us for non-existent software!
