I have been a happy Dell customer for a number of years, but I had a very negative experience regarding an order for a Dell laptop.
I ordered an Inspiron 17″ laptop direct from Dell for Christmas on 12/6. I noticed on the Dell website that the estimated shipping date was 12/18. I thought, great, just in time for Christmas. My order was confirmed within a day with an estimated ship date of 01/11. Three weeks after the estimated ship time on their website.
The real problems began when I called customer service to cancel the order. Four phone calls were made on 12/12 totaling over an hour to cancel the order (unsuccessfully). I was repeatedly transferred and eventually was told that the people that could help me had all gone home for the night. My second attempt to cancel the order was on 12/14. I asked for a customer service manager and was placed on hold for approximately 45-50 minutes. A regular customer service rep picked up the phone and told me that the order could not be canceled because it was “in production”. I told the rep that the computer had not been manufactured yet (shipping one month from now) and that I needed him to cancel the order. I was placed on hold again for a few minutes and the rep told me again that he could not cancel the order. When I threatened to call my credit card company to refute the charges eventually the rep relented and told me that he could now cancel the order.
I wasted two hours of my time just to cancel an order.
In the event of an order cancellation, is it Dell policy to place someone on hold until they give up? I am disappointed in Dell after having good experiences with them over the years and I ended up giving HP the business instead. Dell has been known for good customer service, but after reading some reviews and having a bad experience myself I feel like this may no longer be the case.

It is not bad.
But sometimes, it will wake up automatically from sleep state.
Maybe it is the software setting problem, I am not sure.

I have had a Dell desktop for a long time and have always been happy with their products and service. I had a tough time deciding if I was going to get this particular laptop as there were a few very negative reviews regarding their service. I decided to give it a go despite the negative reviews and although I have only had this laptop a day, I am extremely happy with it. The screen is bright and clear, the keyboard is easy to use and not cramped and difficult to navigate, the laptop weight is the most surprising thing to me. I thought it would be much heavier! All in all, I am very pleased with the entire experience. Especially how quickly Amazon got it to me. Normally Dell makes you go through a laundry list of “personalization” steps, and then it takes a long time for them to “build” it. I guess a lot of people want or need to personalize their laptops, but this one was perfect for me and I love how simple it was to buy.

I have owned Dells for the past 10 years and have never had one issue with any of their machines. This laptop is no exception. I would recommend the laptop for the average user who isn’t a big gamer and isn’t working on memory-intensive High Def video editing.

I got this laptop as a Christmas/graduation present from my parents. Overall, I’m so pleased. The battery life is amazing, the display is awesome, and the fact that it already came with Windows 7 was really convenient. And it’s so lightweight! As a web design major, I carry this thing around everywhere. My previous Dell brickbook nearly dislocated my shoulders. I’d recommend maybe getting a different color if you’re worried about fingerprints, though, as they’re quite noticeable. The only negative thing I have is the touch pad gestures. I thought that the “pinch” zoom in/zoom out features would be really handy but while browsing the web it would often zoom in and out on me without me doing much. But I just disabled that feature and it’s great otherwise.
It’s a great buy, I’d recommend it to anyone.
