Review:
I absoloutly loved this pc for the 1st week, it worked like dream. but now i am having serious problems with it and tech support. They never ring back, 8 calls and my problem is still there. Dell was supposed to visit but at 11.00 o'clock I called to ask what was happening and they said they did not have tha parts so it was cancelled. half an hour later we got a call to say a mistake was made and they did have the parts. I have had vista reinstalled 4 times and only half of my hard drive works. Dell has told me not to install office 2007 as it may not be comaptible with the system. Great.

Latest Desktop Reviews
Apple iMac (27-inch, unibody, 2009)
Although not much faster than its predecessor, the LED-backlit display and spec tweaks are welcome
ViewSonic VPC100
Not particularly exciting, but it's cheap and offers a relatively large display for a nettop
Dell Studio XPS 435
Despite some missing features, it's a decent all-rounder, and it looks good for a Dell desktop too
