One persons opinion about the issue of whether Dell is crap
or a good value is just that, an opinion.
The issue and answer was just to the point of the upgrade of
an old W95 computer. The cost of upgrading would far exceed
the cost of a new Dell once the hardware and software costs
are considered. Certainly, building a computer from
scratch, with selection of the highest rated hardware
components will result in a better performing computer, but
also a very much more expensive system. For most users, a
stock or customized Dell is the most bang for the buck.
The highly computer literate computer geek gamer will build
their own and don't need or ask for advise here. The dopy
gamer will buy a high-end machine from one of the specialty
companies and pay the $3,000+ price. Some will pay an extra
few thousand dollars for a paint job.
For someone wanting to surf the web, do school-work and send
email or write the next novel, the cheapest Dell will serve
just fine.
