Good Deal? - Page 2

I think I may go with the SXGA+. I will probably call tomorrow to cancel and then I am going to place a new order with the WSXGA+ screen, 4X DVD burner, and an earlier ship date. I am not going to wait till December for my lappy. If your going to wait that long you might as well wait for the Dothan.

KewL
I will let you know when I get mine as well

If I order mine w/a the WSXGA+ display and you get yours in less than a month I will be piSSed. LOL

My I8600 ConFig.

YeP YeP!!! One Yr. is all I need b/c once the warranty is about to expire Dell will call and ask if I would like to extend the warranty?

IDK what kind of sales pitch ur GuY (lollol) was throwing at U. I own a Dell Desktop 8250 and the 1 Yr warranty is about to expire and I recently received a calll from a Dell rep asking if I would like to extend my warranty for another 2 YrS. There was No increase in CosT.

Y??? Did U opt for the 3 Yr warranty??? Product replacement Plans/Warranties (insurance policies) earn the highest revenues for any company, that is y they really like to push them. If u did opt for the 3 Yr, I would definitley switch to 1 Yr, Dell tech support SuX. The only reason I would get the warranty is for defective hardware and u should know whats defective within a Yr. and if not then extend when it is about to expire. SaVe $$$

He probably made some nice commision off ur sale.

I8600 Delivered, but not received

Today at 9:58 my I8600 was delivered, but was I home....NO!!!

Now I will be waiting on Monday on my doorstep. The delivery man will not elude me this time.

I received mine yesterday. AweSome.

Wait...yours is testing...Did you order the WUXGA screen?

I just spent 2-3 hours with Dell tech support beacuse of errors with my 4X DvDRW drive. Which has not been fixed and there only solution is to reformat my HD, after I have already reformatted. I let them know that if reformatting did not correct the error the system would be going back. He said, "That would be fair." I really like the system, yet I did not spend a large amount of $ on a defective system.

My drive will not autoplay and now it will not play anything even if I double click on the item in the D drive in My Computer. I went thruogh the whole routine with the Techie. Before I was able to access the D drive from My COmputer and now I cannot. When I was able to, I did try a DVD and OoO I also have StReaKs!!!

I am reformatting the drive as we speak. SoOo I guess I will see if reformating fixes the error. If not......
