I contacted Dell and gave them the same information mentioned above and asked if there was a recall on this model, they said that there wasn't. I told them that this give me doubts as to whether or not I would purchase another computer from them, but they didn't seem to be the least bit concerned.
Description of Work: I purchased an Inspiron 15R 5520 from Dell Direct in August 2012. About a month ago, it started having problems at start up (blank screen and beeping) and would take several tries in order to get it to start properly. I took it to a highly rated computer repair shop that I found on Angies list and the technician told me that the mother board would have to be replaced and that the cost of the repair would be more than the computer was worth. He added that this is a common problem with this model.

I thought that their website was easy to use. I was able to select the features that suited me best. The unit arrived and I was able to set it up myself. I have not needed to talk to them personally. Next time, when I buy a computer, cost will be the factor. I wont' necessarily buy it from them.
Description of Work: I ordered my computer online and bought a computer from this company.

I bought a Dell computer and it broke. I called the troubleshooting number and talked to a very polite and patient young man in India. It was real hard for me to understand him and the phone conversation took hours. I was told that I had to erase everything in my computer that I had saved in order to fix the problem. When we were done I turned off my computer and left. When I turned on my computer again the problem was much worse than it was in the first place. I tried calling back and got the run around and never got ahold of anyone. They charged the fee to my credit card and there was nothing I could do about that either. So they got paid $85 to make the problem worse!
Description of Work: They helped troubleshoot the problems I was having with my computer.

THEY DID NOT DO SUCH A GREAT JOB. THE PRICE WAS TOO HIGH. THEY WERE VERY FRUSTRATED BECAUSE IT HAD TO BE REFURBISHED. THEY DID NOT KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THAT TYPE OF PROBLEM VERY WELL. THEY DID NOT HAVE A VERY GOOD ATTITUDE.
