When buying your next laptop, remember to research thoroughly.

I “unfortunately” own a dell. 6400 here in the EU, and E1505 in the States, I bought a Dell, because I had a dell, a nifty little 8200 that was tough, ran splendidly and never had any problems. So I figure, Dell’s a good company, they have good laptops, might as well go get another one.

Worst decision of my life. Why? Well I think I wrote about this but during the finals for term 2 I had hard drive failure, complete, and could not access my PC at all. Perfect for when you have to study.

Then my screen gets some strange stains that I absolutely cannot get rid of, and now, I can’t charge my battery because the power adapter is garbage, and it went right ahead and broke itself.

So today I am going to call support which in all likelihood will tell me that I cannot get support here in Spain because I bought the laptop in the U.S. (this will probably result as part of Dell’s new business model to push many support options onto its users, in hopes of generating higher revenues). But little do they know, that a crap product is still a crap product. I think I’ve said this before. My next laptop, is a Mac.
