PC over Hell and Dell
The news today in the papers is about Dell having troubles and it seems to run pretty deep.
I know for myself, I have had troubles finding my favorite PC and no offense to Lenovo, but I have wanted to purchase from a US company.
I seem to blow up PCs on a all to regular basis. The last one crashed while at the office replying to an email. But I have others that gave me warning or with a screw loose gave up the ghost with a little puff of smoke.
The last one was a Toshiba and since i was desparate I went to the Best Buy Geek Squad.
So here is the point. Dell was not a choice for immediate replacement because we don't have an IT department that stocks.
So Gateway, Sony and Toshiba were my choices.
The geeksquad managed to determine that my hardrive could be used as a secondary drive. Which got me back in operation.
Dell does not have a way for me to have this experience. The retail kiosks sell like they are supporting a new market. Not one that is in full operation.
I think that is Dell's biggest problem. We are saturated and they are selling like its not.
