Which is the better PC: Dell or Gateway?
(just for home and some office work only)
Thanks! | | Moderator - Gone, but never forgotten with 48,307 posts. | | Join Date: Jun 2001 Location: Great White North (WI) Experience: Getting somewhere I hope | | I was disappointed recently to see that Dell will no longer tell people how to get rid of Spyware on their PCs. 
But I hink I would still go with someone other than either of those two. Just my opinion. | | Former Administrator with 104,744 posts. | | Join Date: Jan 2001 Experience: Advanced | | Dell has some really good deals right now.
And I don't see why they should need to assist people in getting rid of spyware  It's not their fault.......... | | Moderator - Gone, but never forgotten with 48,307 posts. | | Join Date: Jun 2001 Location: Great White North (WI) Experience: Getting somewhere I hope | | Apparently they are not even allowed to tell customers about Spyware removal progs. I'll post the thread when I find it again! | | Former Administrator with 104,744 posts. | | Join Date: Jan 2001 Experience: Advanced | | Oh, I think I saw it
And it's probably called CYA since they have no control over what the removal programs COULD do to a system, if it's not done correctly........... | | Moderator - Gone, but never forgotten with 48,307 posts. | | Join Date: Jun 2001 Location: Great White North (WI) Experience: Getting somewhere I hope | | | | | Distinguished Member with 6,939 posts. | | Join Date: Nov 2003 Location: Kansas Experience: Advanced | | Acacandy: the computers come preloaded with spyware, they're gettin paid i think. | | Distinguished Member with 5,782 posts. | | Join Date: Aug 2002 Location: New York Experience: Advanced | | No, the computers do not come preloaded with spyware, it's just that if somebody has a problem with their computer being slowed down, and the problem happens to be spyware, then there's nothing Dell will do about it, except probably try to convince you to buy a new one. | | Distinguished Member with 4,013 posts. | | Join Date: Oct 2003 Location: San Diego | | Yeah like McTimson said, they don't install spyware, they just wont help delete it, Dell is the way to go, i get great help and it's affordable.
Give me a money amount of what you want to spend and i can build you a Dell System online, and show you | | Distinguished Member with 5,782 posts. | | Join Date: Aug 2002 Location: New York Experience: Advanced |

#10 | Building your own would be my preference....give me the amount you want to spend, and I can build you a real, non-proprietary computer with free tech support that will tell you how to get rid of spyware. | | Distinguished Member with 4,013 posts. | | Join Date: Oct 2003 Location: San Diego |

#15 | sleekluxury, you don't 'build' anything when you buy a Dell, they build it for you. My point was, you can get a better computer for cheaper than Dell offers, using non-proprietary parts, and get free tech support here. Why would you make a call for tech support for anything when you have this site? Quote: |
Buy another or ReFormat the Hard Drive
| See, that's my point, they'll either have you reformat or buy a new one, when all you have to do is run one program. Would you rather lose all your data, or take 2 minutes to run a simple program? |  THIS THREAD HAS EXPIRED.
