Did I say that Dell desktops were good? They're pieces of crap. Yeah, they're ripoffs, who the heck doesn't know that.
I'm talking laptops here. Desktops, you can build yourself. Laptops, you can't, not with any ease anyway. And they're all reliable, as long as you don't try to upgrade them outside of spec.
Dell desktops...I'll be dead and buried before I buy one of those.
