I've read a lot of complaints from some people here about the overseas customer service that Dell uses. I'm not even going into the whole outsourcing issue as that's not why I post here. I will comment on my experience with them...

Before I begin my review of my new i6000, let me give you a little background on myself and previous machine so you'll know where I'm coming from in regards to the new notebook. I am by no means a computer savvy person. I know how to...

I've done a little research and found that the Netgear WGU624 has and does just about everything I need it too (within my price range). Thing is, on cnet they recommend getting an adapter card to get the full potential of the router. I...

Yeah, MS Office is part of that "Dell Super Software Suite". At least that's what the guy on TV said. I won't find out for a few weeks though as my software isn't shipping until the 24th, a full two weeks after my laptop is...

I've got (getting if Dell ever ships the bloody thing!) an Inspiron 6000 with Pentium M 715 and an 80 gig HD. I plan on doing some DVD "editing" (not ripping or burning of copyrighted material cuz that's illegal and stuff :P )...
