Hi everyone...

Which is the better PC: Dell or Gateway?
(just for home and some office work only)

Thanks!

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.

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..........

[bassetman]

Apparently they are not even allowed to tell customers about Spyware removal progs. I'll post the thread when I find it again!

[AcaCandy]

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...........

Acacandy: the computers come preloaded with spyware, they're gettin paid i think.

[McTimson]

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.

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

[McTimson]

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.

[sleekluxury]

, Nah i can build a Dell, we are here to remove spyware, why would u make a call to do that? Lol

Buy another or ReFormat the Hard Drive

Dell is my choice ...

[sleekluxury]

Alright GoJoAGoGo

[McTimson]

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?

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?
