Of course, your mileage may vary.
Those were just my observations. Of course, my opinions on what are good
products are different that what others may perceive.
I use my computers quite differently than most. I'm constantly compiling
and editing, and basically driving them in a different fashion than the
average user.
I also have a reliable American sports car. Imagine that!!!!

P.S. I also did have another American sports car that was junk. Oh well......

I'm on my
third Dell laptop. It's not my choice - the company gets these
junkballs for me
I bought a second hand Latitude ci and just love it.
The second - BIOS stupidity. After TWELVE
revisions, they finally got the
laptop to the point where it would handle PCMCIA devices and power off
correctly without requiring a quick trip to BIOS to reconfigure HD
settings
every time it crashed.
My BIOS is R7 and I've never had a problem (other than problems with the
crappy
OS).
My third - my currect trashball. The power supply
connecter is a piece of
crap. The pins are too small for the current that is required by the PS
when charging a battery and doing productive work. The pins heat up and
distort the plastic plug. It then requires much effort to re-insert the
plug.
My laptop has been plugged in and powered on for about 3 days. The power
connector isn't warm to the touch. I did have to replace a power supply after
someone stepped on the plug.
I don't have many complaints about my Dell desktop machine either.
