My brother was in the process of buying a new laptop for the business. He decided to purchase one from Dell, right before he clicked the "purchase" button he decided to talk to a rep real fast to ask about Wi-Fi with the laptop. This is probably the most hilarious customer support i've seen. This dell guy is a complete moron. Download the PDF attachment and look at my brothers' conversation with this guy.

What can I say: Dell...

You are aware that you can just turn the connection off in Windows, right?

As far as I know, Dell doesn't outsource its tech. support (well, at least it doesn't in Canada).

That is not a surprise. I've actually had a customer support worker ask me what I meant by the term "hard drive" when I asked him a question about the connector on it. Most of the time you can plainly tell that they are reading out of a script and have actually little to no experience in what they are doing.

Dell, sucks.

Viva la Resistance!
This isn't related to Dell, but I had a previous ISP tech try to convince me that the reason for my network outage is because I switched CAT5 and that CAT5 remembers the IP of the computer so I can't do that. And, yes, he was for real.

the battery rumore is definely true, it will appeared to charge. you leave it charging for lets say 10 hours take it off charge and the battery is still flat.

i think the fact that it the laptop itself stop being able to charge is random because it happens to some people but not others. i have had 2 cases of this only with dell!

another thing i hate about dell it that they say "Intel Pentium 4 processor" people thing "yeah that is fast for £300" but the processor is compromised by the crappy motherboard.

i have ordered a new acer laptop, i think they are a good make Smile

my old custimer support for tiscali are in India, you don't know a word they are saying and if you get a word across to them, they say "restart your computer"
once they asked me how long the rj-11 cable was i said 25 meters, they said "it is too long, 5 meter minimum".
but why? it has only just stopped working. then they said "please reduce the size of the cable now" i couldn't because the computer was upstairs and the socket was downstairs. i said i couldn't but they started shouting at me to shorten it. at that point i gave them a piece of my mind.

not after 200 charges, and anyway they suddenly stop working a rechargable barrtery would graduly stop. i do know about this as u use rechargable batterys alot in my planes. if they do start losing their capacity all you do is "discharge" it and it will be fine again.

I can only advise you to go Acer. Mine is 2 years old now and never had a problem. Just be sure that you take one your distributor has in stock as ordering a laptop at Acer's is like waiting for ACK to say something that makes sence: it takes a very long time.

I've had a Dell laptop for almost 3 years now... never once had a problem with it in any way. Battery still works like it's new and has had well over 200 charges.
