Because I don't need to take my laptop into Apple and get the run around that _I_ damaged the laptop and the shit isn't covered by my warranty?

Now, I didn't know Dell actually sends techs to you. I just wonder how long you'd have to wait, as well as if the costs are very good. I am actually satisfied with Apple's servicing options.]]>Jun 16th 2008 2:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/15/even-more-on-dells-studio-1536-1536-and-the-studio-brand/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/15/even-more-on-dells-studio-1536-1536-and-the-studio-brand/
At that Point Apple replaced the laptop outright in Nov of '06. After that I've had the audio die on my laptop when the digital point got "stuck" in the on position and disabled the internal speakers. And the display would only display 8-bit colors. As of 3 months ago my DVD drive will no longer burn anything consistently. I've gone through a spindle of DVD's and when I took it into the Apple store they informed me that they didn't transfer the Apple care to the new Mac so I needed to contact Apple's....I foreget the name. Account amagement? Account mediation. Don't know. When I called them they gave me attitude and told me that they couldn't transfer the Apple care since it was over a year since I got the new laptop. 2 weeks later I called back and got someone else. This time I escalated to a manager and they DID transfer the Apple Care after reading the case file. So I went back into the Apple store and its burning disks fine again....until I got home.
So yah. I'm probably the most unlucky Apple user in the history of the damn company and while my expierience may not be typical I've been without my laptop, and as such a working computer for over a month and a half since I got my laptop back in Feb of 06.
Dell on the other hand. I do warranty work for them. (Contracted so I have no love for Dell, Apple, or anyone.) Unless the part is backordered we are REQUIRED to contact the user the same day the part is delivered to us. While the tech may not tell you this you CAN ask them to come to your place of work to do the repair work. We will do it as long as the drive is within reason. Someone asked me to drive 50 miles to their job, when there home was 15. Sorry no.
We also are authorized to order additional parts while onsite. So none of this nandy pamby crap that you need to contact Dell again. No. We will call Dell for you and get the parts. Again parts "usually" ship in 24 hours....usually.
But no. Dell's warranty runs rings around Apple's. I've seen both and this is practical experience here. Dell's IS better.]]>Jun 16th 2008 4:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/15/even-more-on-dells-studio-1536-1536-and-the-studio-brand/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/15/even-more-on-dells-studio-1536-1536-and-the-studio-brand/Jun 16th 2008 5:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/15/even-more-on-dells-studio-1536-1536-and-the-studio-brand/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/15/even-more-on-dells-studio-1536-1536-and-the-studio-brand/
