Hi folks,
Please excuse me if this way OT, but I wanted to measure the general
satisifaction with Dell systems. Currently I'm looking for only one
desktop system, but it might increase to many in the future, and I am
keen on standardizing on one vendor. Yes, all the systems will run Linux
(Ubuntu series in particular) - if you can throw light on some of the
related issues too, it will be great.
In general, I'm looking for info how long they take to deliver a system
in Chennai if I order it online, how good their after-sales support is
and if their general sales strategy is small-business friendly. If you
know other vendors you would rather recommend/had a good experience
with, I would be glad to hear it.
Thanks much,
V.
I bought Dells at work and for my personal use. I find their interface
good and efficient. Service calls for me have been part replacements and
they went off smoothly. These were not issues that brought the system
down and thus not critical failures. I got decent next day support at
work too for desktops. Here too we had spare desktops and daily backup
of code/pvt repository etc so switching desktops was not difficult.
I like the sales strategy as there is no negotiations and waste of time
in face to face interaction. That is me and others may feel otherwise.
Overall: very painless to deal with and if one is a knowledgeable user,
can get work done fasst with Dell.
My motive to purchase first m/c: Complete flexibility in building
configurations yourself - works well on the web.
