I only read the first page of this before deciding to post this as this guy clearly likes to moan about everything. I imagine he's the person you get stuck behind you while in the queue at Tesco who likes to whinge about how long things are taking.
Not long ago I bought 35 systems from Dell for my previous employer, a mix of Optiplex desktops and Latitude notebooks. I'd always had a thing *against* Dell up until that point as you know what...not a single one of them had *any* issues whatsoever, even after remotely installing all software to them and giving them to users who used to quite frequently manage to break things in the most impossible of ways.
The build quality on all of them was very good and even when I asked to customise one of them so that an employee in Portugal could have one (Portuguese OS, Euro power adapter), everything came pre-configured and packaged ready to go.
So in short, I'm not disputing the poster had issues, sure sometimes you can get a duff machine but the fact that Dell sent someone out and even replaced his machine so they could investigate the problem with the card reader tells me that this guy is in fact nothing more than a big moaner.

What a moaner
