| robber53's Full Review: Dell Dimension XPS T500 |
Just about 4 or 5 months ago I finally bought my college computer. I had been looking for a long time at the the most popular sites; Gateway and Dell, the two main competitors. They reason I looked at both those sites was because they both offered a great selection of components to customize your computer. But, there was one main difference in the two, price.
I had the same components selected on both sites, and Dell came out about $350 cheaper then the Gateway. That is a lot of money, especially for a college student.
I was so excited when I finally ordered my new computer, and the reason of course was that I absolutely souped this thing up so much, just so it wouldnt go obsolete anytime soon. When it finally came I was amazed at how easy it was to set it up. Being somewhat of an expert in computers, basically I know my way around one, it was very easy for me to put this thing together. But, for a novice or beginner to computers, Dell includes this great descriptive manual that explains what goes where, and color codes all the ports. So basically, like you should guess, green goes into green, blue into blue, etc.
After I had my computer for about 4 months now, I am still impressed at its speed, and performance. I haven't had many problems at all, none that the great people at Dell customer service couldn't fix. In other words, I am very glad that I chose Dell to fill my computer needs, and am still impressed with the service and performance of both the computer and the company.
