The only Dells Ive used that havent been flaming piles of shit have been the Precision series. We took some into DoD field training exercises years ago and pounded on them in dirt and dust and they did great.
So even after several flaming turd Dell laptops I figured Id give the Precisions another chance, main reason being the Dell workstation laptops are MUCH cheaper than the HPs.
and Dell sucks yet again. apparently $5k wont even buy you a good laptop from Dell. :finger:
The screen frequently has a bad flicker, every time the laptop goes idle it loses the connection to the external monitor, wont reconnect to it unless I turn the monitor off and plug it into a different port (or sometimes must reboot). my coworker's has the same model and it has bluescreened several times, and has build quality issues with a bulging keyboard and sticky keys.
:bootyshake: to dell.
