    I have seen quite a few complaints about people receiving their system and there are issues...

    Is it because the Tech's are not checking the units fully or does all this occour during shipping?

    :( :eek:

    It is partially the nature of our site. We are here to help people so of course you are going to see more complaints/problems than anything else. This is the same for all manufacturers - not just dell. Otherwise, there would be no need for the forums if it was just praise and glory.

    Theres always some small percentage of failure, Dells market share equates to a misrepresentation of poor quality. Actually its the opposite.
    Dells are great machines given each models price point and target market.

    I'm glad someone finally said it. When a company is the #1 computer distributor in the world it is bound to have the most occurrences of problems. The Inspirons may not be as well built as others, but the fact that you can get a 7900GS Core 2 Duo machine for under $1700 means you have to compromise. If you need durability, go for the Latitudes. If you need durability AND power, go for the M90 or the XPS line which, while built on the same chassis as the E1705, feature subtle changes that add to overall quality and also offer better Customer Support if you do happen to have any problems.

    I guess you are correct Southern...I have a Dell inspiron 8200 and excedpt for a few drivers it has been perfect. Ireally like the keyboard and my 15" screen. I wonder how long it will take to get used to the shiny screen...

    Well Khanfat, I hope that the only blue i see is in my eyes...lol

    That's what I thought but sometimes you hear things and it makes you think twice...but thanks for sharing

    n
    Got your point but i haven't seen the M90 on dells site. is that a workstation?

    Well, the xps m1710 is ordered and I give you guys a review compared to my 8200...

    I think the M90 is the precision note book, 17".
