Thanks, Bob! I'm happy with my Dell. I used Open Office on my desktop for awhile, until I decommissioned a laptop that had MS Office on it. Then I installed it on my Dell desktop. A few months ago I purchased a Dell laptop for my business and I got a great deal on it - and it included MS Office, so I didn't have the need to use Open Office. Here is a little more related information: How to Save Money on a New Dell Computer.

Great Post! I just recently purchased a Dell Laptop. While I wish I had read this article first, I did do a number of things. I used several discounts, configured it the way I wanted and got rid of a few things. I am going to check out Open Office and if not, I can get the Office Suite I want off of Ebay for about half what it would have cost me at Dell.

This post should be a compulsory read before anyone buys a computer because you’ve packed it full of some invaluable information.

I recently bought a new laptop and nearly fell into the trap of buying a whole range of features I didn’t need. Luckily I put my sensible hat and reined back, but it’s so easy to forget!

Dennis, I’ve never had a problem with Tiger Direct and I enjoy shopping with them. I have always received the product as advertised and on time. I have never used a rebate with them, however, so I can’t speak for that.

Watch out for Tiger Direct. I found them to be a very shabby operation, especially when teemed with “On Rebate” which is their rebate subsidity. Suffice it to say, if the deal is good enough without any rebate, maybe Tiger is okay to deal with. You’re never going to get any advertised rebate. Check their Tiger and On Rebate on Ripoffreport.com and you’ll see I’m not a lone kook.
