When my desktop finally gave up the ghost a couple years back I was going to just build another one. Before I started ordering parts I went to Dell's website out of curiousity to see what they had in the way of laptops. Well, after configuring one for kicks I noticed there was a link to apply for free financing for 18 months on the system I had configured. I followed the links & ended up with an $1800+ laptop and presumably no interest. It wasn't until I got the first bill that I found they were charging me 27.99% interest. Calling Dell was useless as was contacting the BBB, so I paid it off in full. Needless to say (but said anyway), I will not buy another computer from Dell.
