Dell or Gateway?

[DaisyDebbie]

Which do you think is a better computer and why?
I'm looking for opinions, testimonials, whatever.

I'm not familiar with Dells, but my first computer was a Gateway, I had to replace it in less than a year. That's also what they use at work, and they've also just finished replacing 13 of them that they've had less than a year.

Dell gets better marks in customer service and satisfaction.

DELL!!!!!

After doing tech support at a university for many years I cannot say DELL enough!!! I have had numerous issues with Gateway's quality and tech support and even though they have gotten better over the last few years, I still won't ever suggest someone buy one. Go for the Dell

DELL!

My mother didn't listen to me and bought a Gateway because there is a Gateway store near her. She didn't want to wait to get her computer. Anyway, now she regrets it! She said that she wants a Dell now. Before having the Gateway a year she has had to take it back several times and have major work done on it.

I have a Gateway, and I would vote for Dell. 'Nuff said!

 

[kylara]

Personally I don't like either but if it is between those two, go for the Dell. We use them at work and the IT people hate them, but they always say it could be worse..we could have Gateways!

Get a dell better tech support. IMHO

 

[mrsv98]

Well, just to be the odd one out, we have had two Gateways and have been happy with both. Yes, we had trouble with the first, but it was fixed right away and I have always found their tech support to be good. On the other hand, my husband has a Dell laptop from work and he likes it. We took it on our last vacation and played DVDs for our DD and it was heaven sent. So what does that mean? Do my votes cancel each other out?

Dell. DelldellDell!

I had a friend who had a Gateway that is nothing but trouble. Several of my coworkers have Gateways that have been a lot of trouble.

On the other hand, I had a few friends with Dells that, as far as computers go, were essentially no trouble and I've had a Dell for about a year now and couldn't be happier. We also use Dells at work and they're great. I'll definitely buy Dell again, but won't touch Gateway unless I can't have a Dell.

Dude, you're getting a Dell.

 

[Blondie]

Dell for all the reasons previously mentioned.

 

[Dan Murphy]

I have had a Dell for about 18 months or so, very pleased.

 

[ripleysmom]

For the $$, you are much better off building a pc than getting a brand name.
But out of the two, definitely get a Dell
