Qaulity check, does DELL do this?

 

Received delivery today after waiting for around 8 working days for the laptop to arrive. Today on the first day, I find out that on the second startup itself I get a consistent screen flickering. This problem can easily be detected at the time of QC...

Really nice laptop.

 

Pros: Perfect size (15.4). Monitor has great picture for surfing the web and watching movies. Not too heavy. Great product for a great price. Cons: Needs a manual that better explains all of the ports and how to use them for us "newbies".

Excellent laptop

 

I recently retired from a Fortune 25 company and I used a Dell Inspiron laptop for 4 years without a hitch. I decided to purchase my own now for light use during trips and I am very happy with my decision.

Nice Laptop if it would just stay working

 

I have had to replace two parts within the first week of receiving this laptop. It is fast and works nicely when all of the parts are in order. I think Quality Control is in the gutter lately.
