Yes, I have been buying dells for the past 4 years. Got in on the ground floor of the initial release of the core i7 processor. Bought a Studio XPS Desktop for $900 USD 4 years ago. To my surprise it is IMO still not obsolete yet! (Very rare).
Anyways, I have always had good dealings with dell. Just last year I purchased another desktop, when I unpacked it, guess what. No response, no light, no power. So, I got right on the phone and called them. I had another one within a week.
I bought a toshiba satellite laptop 2 years ago and it only lasted a year. Along with that I didn't get any drivers with it.
I will probably always buy a dell
