Win7 Upgrade From Dell? Yeah No.

yea but thier crappy even then LOL. the intel C2E are pusing 1500 now might be lower havent checked.

ITs a lesson everyone has to learn from dealing with Dell or HP/Compaq. Dont even get me started on toshiba/gateway/vaio. their all in to rip ppl off.

Phenom II x4 955 BE 3.2ghz@ 4.2ghz
ASUS M4A79T Deluxe
8GB OCZ LV gold edition 1600 1.65 8-8-8-24@1740 17.44 1m
Coolmaster Case w/Corsair 850w PSU
4870 1gb Sapphire Crossfired
Thermaltake SpinQ Idle 31c Load 44oC

Cost me just under 1700.

Now a build like that from dell or hp would be well over the 2500 mark.

This is a Laptop, not exactly as simple as building it yourself when you have a limited budget. I build my own rigs for the most part but it doesn't make any financial sense to build a laptop. I'm going to talk to someone again and see if I can talk to a manager and show him/her the chat log.

you ARE going to want Windows 7 instead of the pos that they call vista. Windows 7 is actually GOOD and won't eat up all your system resources.

everyone that has disliked vista hasnt worked with vista on a good running computer. Going by what others say is just as bad as saying snakes attack when fed in their enclosure. Lets see vista bog down a computer rig like im running in previous post. windows 7 is IDENTICAL to vista. all they changed with the graphical interface and the rating system, not worth the upgrade at all.

Just irritates me to see people still disliking vista when they have really never tried it on a decent computer. Try playing with vista on a dual core or even better a gaming/video editing quad core computer. Vista blows windows xp out of the water and windows 7.

i've tried it on a good computer. i've tried on a bad computer. i've been using it since release. yeah it has LOTS of nice features that i want, but its also terrible when it comes to the resources it wants to use. Whereas windows 7 is going to give the features and not eat up 1 gig of ram by itself. fact of the matter is that it was terribly coded and put together, hence why they are rushing windows 7 out the door so quickly, instead of the LONG turnaround we had between XP and vista. I have lots of friends that work in IT and a few that are system admins for some very large corporations and they deal with Vista on a daily basis and i've heard what they have to go through, its a pos, plain and simple.

I've been running it since I got the laptop ;) w00t for RC1! I sent them a polite, but stern, e-mail explaining where they are contradicting themselves, so hopefully this will end on a good note.

The return process was easy. After they recieved my computer they called me and told me what was wrond with it. The processor was bad.
I told them that i had 30 days to decide if i wanted it and the decision was No. So i got my money back and that was that.

10 Years later im trying to buy a house. On my credit rating its stating that i still owe Dell for the computer. And the loan company wont let me buy a house till i pay off Dell. I contact Dell and they say that according to their records i have never purchased anything from them. I explained the situation and they say i need to produce some kind of paperwork saying That i returned the computer. They never gave me anything.

So to make a long story short because im starting to get flamed up. I had to pay Dell 2500 bucks for a computer that i didn't buy. If i ever run into the owners of Dell, ITS ON!

As stated previously, fight the claim, I would send disputes to all three agencies, they have thirty days to reply to the dispute. If they don't its removed, if they do you can fight it.

I buy all my stuff from TigerDirect or NewEgg. Awesome prices and great customer service. And i think TigerDirect does free shipping. You can build your own or buy one premade and still save about 50% of what you would pay from Dell.

TigerDirect is way to expensive. You should check out 3btech.net. It is much cheaper, and has free shipping.
