The first computer I got from them was a lemon but they made up for it with the replacement. They gave me tons of stuff that I hadn't paid originally for free.]]>Apr 7th 2010 2:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/07/dells-mobile-activation-center-launches-getting-trapped-in-con/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/07/dells-mobile-activation-center-launches-getting-trapped-in-con/
How many years ago was this? Things have most likely changed now!]]>Apr 7th 2010 3:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/07/dells-mobile-activation-center-launches-getting-trapped-in-con/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/07/dells-mobile-activation-center-launches-getting-trapped-in-con/Not years, months. Bought the original computer in 2008, got the replacement in January 2010.]]>Apr 7th 2010 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/07/dells-mobile-activation-center-launches-getting-trapped-in-con/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/07/dells-mobile-activation-center-launches-getting-trapped-in-con/
A friend of mine, who is VERY PARTICULAR, bought the most expensive Dell laptop he could. It broke and he had Dell techs come to his house to fix it, then it broke again and he had enough, so he wanted it replaced. They tried to offer him some Alienware computer instead, and were actually giving him a hard time.

I had bought a router and I experienced this awful customer service myself. The customer support people were total liars and possibly crooked/incompetent. I will never buy anything from Dell again after that.]]>Apr 7th 2010 4:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/07/dells-mobile-activation-center-launches-getting-trapped-in-con/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/07/dells-mobile-activation-center-launches-getting-trapped-in-con/
Even on my old cheapo Inspiron, when the Nvidia video card failed they didn't have a direct replacement and asked if I wanted a lower performing ATI card. Said hell no, so they sent me a newer model entire replacement Inspiron w/ a better CPU and the works. WOOT!

Gateway on the other hand can go to hell.]]>Apr 7th 2010 6:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/07/dells-mobile-activation-center-launches-getting-trapped-in-con/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/07/dells-mobile-activation-center-launches-getting-trapped-in-con/
Ok, now I'm starting to think you guys work for Dell...this sounds like a complete fantasy.]]>Apr 7th 2010 7:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/07/dells-mobile-activation-center-launches-getting-trapped-in-con/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/07/dells-mobile-activation-center-launches-getting-trapped-in-con/

When you work in sales, you learn that no customer is intelligent.

especially when it comes to computers, of any kind.]]>Apr 7th 2010 3:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/07/dells-mobile-activation-center-launches-getting-trapped-in-con/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/07/dells-mobile-activation-center-launches-getting-trapped-in-con/Apr 7th 2010 2:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/07/dells-mobile-activation-center-launches-getting-trapped-in-con/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/07/dells-mobile-activation-center-launches-getting-trapped-in-con/Apr 7th 2010 5:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/07/dells-mobile-activation-center-launches-getting-trapped-in-con/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/07/dells-mobile-activation-center-launches-getting-trapped-in-con/Apr 7th 2010 3:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/07/dells-mobile-activation-center-launches-getting-trapped-in-con/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/07/dells-mobile-activation-center-launches-getting-trapped-in-con/Apr 7th 2010 3:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/07/dells-mobile-activation-center-launches-getting-trapped-in-con/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/07/dells-mobile-activation-center-launches-getting-trapped-in-con/
That is so not true.]]>Apr 7th 2010 4:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/07/dells-mobile-activation-center-launches-getting-trapped-in-con/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/07/dells-mobile-activation-center-launches-getting-trapped-in-con/It is true. I haven't had any trouble with my Dell monitor but my mate had some problems with the back-light intensity and HDCP on his, they sent a replacement in a couple of days which arrived before he had to return his (so he was never without a monitor). Never heard anyone who has dell machines through the workplace complain either.]]>Apr 7th 2010 6:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/07/dells-mobile-activation-center-launches-getting-trapped-in-con/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/07/dells-mobile-activation-center-launches-getting-trapped-in-con/
