So recently (10 Minutes ago) I got booted off the IMac. I don't really care, because now I have the Dell in my room to play more games on, although there still is a problem...

When I was playing Warcraft III on the computer, it immediately crashed. I was exaggerating, it actually crashed about 3 minutes after starting the campaign, yes, 5 minutes into the new computer and I already got the Blue Screen of Death. I don't want to reset the computer because my mom uses it for taxes sometimes, because she really needs 3 computers to do the taxes... :/

Although the Dell really isn't that bad, it does have it's problems. Personally I hate how the Dell has a really gritty screen. I hate how I'm much more error prone when typing on this computer.

But I do like how I can get more stuff, and I'm sure to get more games and such for it. So for now, I'm fine with the computer.

This is what I think of Dell

As far as I know, I'm stuck with the Dell until I get a new computer. At least it has Pinball!

After all, people get Dells for the sole purpose of playing Pinball.

Only loosers do work on Dells

Have fun getting used to the error prone Krizaz!

Edit: I'm still getting used to the Dell Keyboard, even though there's barely any difference. But there is a difference.

Heading over to E-Bay to get some games! Also GameSpot.

Dell isn't crap. You just have a crappy Dell.

And yes, to hell with Dell! I love Hewlett-Packard.

Define "new". How old is it? I spent a lot of time on a Dell computer and I never got the blue screen of death. It served me well over the years.

They're overpriced and obsolete.


We're talking about Dells, not Macs.

All I can say Krizaz is that your specific laptop itself, is messed up. Or something horrible happened.

I absolutely despise all things made by Dell. Don't ask me why, I have never had a bad experience with them, per-say, but I have heard way to many negative things about them over the years to put any money towards buying one.

I probably messed it up some how by making it think too much.

Here's what I did.

Installed Warcraft III - Via Disc
Opened Warcraft III
Started Human Campaign - Video
Made Warcraft III Smaller
Opened Chrome - Went to AG
Made Warcraft III bigger
Warcraft III got stuck.
Blue Screen of Death - Restart

Your Dell is as old as my Dell except mine is an M1350 (and more expensive), and mine works well (except for the time I accidentally overheated it but that's my fault). Should've gotten an XPS for a bit more if you're going over $1000 for a Dell. Otherwise, you're overpaying by several $100. An Inspiron shouldn't have been more than around $600 - $800. My friend got one for rather cheap and currently runs everything on the lowest just to squeeze as much battery life and operating power out of it as possible since an Inspiron wasn't built for heavy gaming. The XPS was.

I have a dell, it was fine until about 6 months ago, that's when it started making my life hell. Since then I've factory reset 4 times.

Yeah, found that out when I tried the Empire: Total War demo on this, glitchy as hell, and the text didn't show up. I really want Empire: Total War on the Mac, I don't think Boot Camp would work.

Do you have any idea how irritating it is to rewrite four or eight pages when your computer deletes them with the blue screen.

I have used four diffrent dells over my life time, and other then the fact that I got a few viruses (which was firewalls fault for not blocking the virus off adds.....diffrent story for another day) I have never had a problem with them. The one I am on right now is three years old, only 2GB of ram, and like 200GB harddrvie, not a godly computor, but it works. Of course I don't play any hardcore games, which you need to dish out thousands of dollars for, but still.

Computors are all the saem on the inside!!!!!! Its just the box there placed in!

Only problem with the Dell laptop I'm on now is there's only like 2 hours of battery power. :z

Every time I look at the title I think it says "Stuck With the Deli.."
