Cons: Those wallpapers lose their appeal after a week or so. Annoying to do direct system backup from my old XP machine without a male to male USB. It's slow, Bad layout in windows explorer, I'll explain more below.
Summary: Firstly, I bought this brand new Dell (Inspir... read more

"Patience.... A better name you"ll wait for everything"
Pros: You will have time to do other things while you wait for the system to start up, open a program, or the longest wait for sure shutting down. It convinced me to try a MAC and I love it.
Cons: SLOW. Trouble loading software. Block start up programs, it annoyingly reminds you forever. Blue screens of death and random shut downs. Do something, it asks you if you really want to do it way to often. Robs you of the beauty of the computer speed.
Summary: I've been using Vista, it think it is going o... read more

Summary: Well i just noticed that some of Vista's anno... read more

Over-Priced and Short-Handed they cut back on accessories that were included since Windows 95, what a JOKE!.
Lack of knowledge on their Non-American-Base customer service team.Summary: The new operating system seems not very exiti... read more

"An exercise in futility, I want my XP 2 back."
Pros: It is definately more secure than XP2.
Cons: Extremly difficult to transfer files from XP2. Many of my photo's are not supported. Seems like photo's on the CD did not have the right codes. I cannot open the windows task launcher. It has an error mssage, Instructions to set the D.E.P. are vague.
Summary: I am very disappointed with the product. It's... read more
