yeah, i think i read somewhere that their hard drives are only meant to last for about 2 years (just after the warranty expires) so once ur hard drive fails, u buy another computer. I don't like Dell especially their laptops.

I personally use a Lenovo

Shouldn't have bought a Dell in the first place :/

Thank you for contacting Dell Online Customer Care. I apologize you are experiencing this delay. Dell is making every effort to ship your order as soon as possible, however, the most current information we have is that your order would be delivered by 1/12/09 and the delay is due to the unavailability of certain components. If you would like to cancel the order you can reply to the same e-mail.

holy shit. i am raging right now.

i placed an order for an inspiron 1525 at Dell at the end of november, on my birthday.

the expected delivery date posted was on dec 10th. it is now dec 12th. i was expecting it to be delayed, due to holiday season, maybe a set back of about a weeks time. so i made a call to dell just to find out the status of my order, and guess what. they changed the estimated date to the 12th of next month.

i am quite understanding when it comes to delays, but to extend it by a month's time, and NOT offer a reason for the delay is a spike up the ass.

not only that, i finally have a first hand experience as to why people say Dell's customer service sucks balls.

i might just have to cancel it, and go to fs/bb to pick one up for 200 bucks more. FUCK.

what aggravates me is that i can't cancel the order... if i were to buy the same laptop at best buy or future shop, it would be 200 dollars more, money i don't have

it offers the best deal for what i want, but it has the shittiest service... FUCK.

guess i have to wait.



anyways, for those of you who will say that 1525 sucks, it does what i need, it saves me money.
