Dell :: Outlet Business Down?
May 9, 2009Pardon me if this is in the wrong section. But I was going to buy a refurbished Dell Latitude, but when I try clicking on check inventory button, it says sorry page not found.
Is anyone else having this problem? I know the home section works, only the business section doesn't
Dell :: Declined My Credit Card- Difficulties Buying From Business When Not Actually Registered As A Business
Nov 27, 2008I was attempting to buy a Dell Vostro 1510 yesterday, but Dell sent me an email saying they have declined my debit card due to incorrect details. Apparently this is something they've done to quite a few people.
It may be due to my having to supply a company name because I was buying through Dell business, and them expecting the company name I gave to be part of my official debit card address, which it is obviously not. I don't have an officially registered business.
In any case they are not being very helpful about it. I updated my details on my account on the website and removed my 'company' name and have asked them to try and redo the payment, but so far getting no response. I'm considering phoning them but I doubt that they will understand what I'm talking about and of course I will have to deal with the tricky aspect of my not really being a business, but ordering through dell business.
I'm concerned that they will ask me to repeat my order now that the special offer on the laptop is expired.

Dell :: Purchasing A Precision M4400
Mar 6, 2010I've been watching this board for a while, and decided to register finally, as I am looking to purchase a Precision for school.
My previous notebook is a Latitude D810 with WUXGA LCD, with a higher end configuration, (2.26Ghz, 2GB, X600 128MB, 320GB HD, Bluetooth) which served me well for the past four years.
I wish to get a high end model as well this time around (With the same resolution), hoping to get the same longevity
Dell :: Second Hand XPS M1330 Purchasing Advice?
Apr 20, 2010I'm currently looking to purchase a M1330 and wondered if there's anything I should look out for when searching?
For example LED screen over CCFL?

I've read about some overheating issues, could they have been fixed?
which is better red or black...
Dell :: 3rd Attempt @ Purchasing A Working Laptop, Want.
Apr 16, 2009this will be my third try purchasing a working dell laptop. My first unit was a new XPS 1335, which had a bios issue and a malfunctioning network card...I sent it back, after 7 hours over 3 days dealing with "customer service" and getting an RMA...
the next was a refurb studio 15, with unresolved CPU and CD drive issues, as well as another network card problems. Returned.
So I am stuck with buying a third dell laptop because of financing approval.
I first wanted a fast, working, and dependable unit...now that I have gone through massive headaches and days/nights at my local university working through finances, and trying to find a new apartment because I do not have a working computer...I want blood.
Dell :: A Few Assorted Questions Before Purchasing E6400
May 30, 2009I have just a few questions left before I order a shiny new E6400. Any input would be much appreciated . My original "What should I buy?" post is here.
1. I'd like to get the 7200 RPM drive, but I've heard reports of a whirring/whining sound. Is that a widespread problem or is it limited to the original batch half a year ago?
2. Everyone seems to have a different preference for the WiFi card. Are there significant differences between the options? I plan to use this computer outside whenever possible, but I don't know how far apart the access points are.
Dell :: Purchasing And Upgrading A Studio XPS (1645)
Oct 6, 2009I've been waiting patiently to purchase a notebook over the last year and now that the mobile i7 has been made available, I've been debating which laptop to get.
Admittedly I've been a bit torn over whether I should simply spend less on a Core 2 Duo, but I'll leave that conversation aside for now.
Basically, I'm looking at purchasing a Studio XPS 1645 over the next couple of weeks (probably after I see a few reviews pop up here from early buyers) and I've got a few questions .....
Sony :: FWinstalling Different OS After Purchasing
May 15, 2009I planned on purchasing my FW with the cheapest 64bit operating system (Home edition) and then installing Vista 64bit Ultimate from my MSDN subscription. Any problems with that?
I found some review last night where a person said they could not do this because the drivers they received from Sony were only for a certain OEM installation of Windows or something. He claims this is what he was told by Sony tech support.
Sony :: Planning On Purchasing A CW290
Mar 10, 2010I'm planning on purchasing a Vaio CW290 from the canadian website

I performed the search term CW290 and only came up with a total of 10 posts, but none were too informative on the quality of the laptop
HP/Compaq :: Bluray Upgrade Is Free Two Days After Purchasing
Mar 9, 2009I bought an HDX16t on Saturday and got the default DVD drive w/out blu-ray support because the blu-ray was $50 more and I don't think I'd use it that much. With that said, I'd definitely like to have a blu-ray drive if it was free. So this morning I looked and the upgrade is now free.
It's probably unlikely, but would HP allow me to add the blu-ray drive to my order? Has anyone had success getting HP to do something like this? I placed the order on the 7th and it's estimated to be built by the 16th.
Dell :: Next Business Day Delivery
May 26, 2009So my Dell XPS M1730 finally got shipped this morning! (Yay). The thing is the dell person expedited my order and gave me free next business day delivery.
Since it got shipped today, shouldn't it come tomorrow (Hence the name next business day)? The dell estimated delivery date says the 29th ( Which I won't be home on )
Dell :: Getting Out Of The High End Business
Sep 24, 2009i have noticed on the dell site that they have replaced their high end systems with alienware...what a laughter for such a large company...cannot dell make there own systems anymore...even the high end desktops are being replaced with
alienware...its like chevy replacing there impala with a buick...bad move. lot of things dell had been doing lately that is non -consumer....sort of got to the point where i don,t look at the dells anymore...
so many notebooks that are non- configurable....no amd,s cpu anymore, no doubt intels are a bit faster in the desktop., but amds would be a nice second choice,,,,and they are not that much slower.
lot of bad decisions by the top brass at dell...when i buy a system,,,i want some configuration options....in a notebook, i usually want nivida, because i like to mess with linux...doens,t dell understand things like this...i don,t think they even think about it.

Feb 10, 2009I asked Dell Tech Support to send me the install media for Vista Business 64-bit for my E6500. They said that since my System Type is "X86-based PC," I won't be able to run 64-bit. Is there no workaround? Is that really true? My refurb laptop came with XP Pro installed as a downgrade from Vista Business 32-bit. It has a T9600 processor. Does anyone have experience installing Vista Business 64-bit on a laptop like mine?

Dell :: E6400 And Business Support
Feb 16, 2009i wanted to buy a refurbished e6400 from the outlet and wanted to know how does the dedicated graphics card on it run? the NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M With PC-Card. also how is the customer service and do they charge a restocking fee for the business side and do they pay for the shipping back to them?
also how is the build quality of them? are they that great compared to a lenovo y530/550, cuz i like the design of the ideapads but there not as reliable as the thinkpads.
also does dell usually have like free shipping or discounts for the business outlet cuz i know they did for home.
and the Mobile Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD With Express Card or like the ones WITH PC-CARD are they much different from the regular 4500mhd or x4500?

Nov 6, 2009But all the batteries I find online say they are only 11.1v?? So is there a wrong battery in here or are battery sellers just faking buyers out by upping their advertised Wh/Ah by listing a lower than actual voltage?
This is a common practice one sees all the time in RV battery manufacturer ratings - but a 3.7 volt difference is a lot if the system requires 14.8 to operate and it's only getting 11.1.
It certainly isn't a bargain to get "higher Wh/Ah" by starving the system's voltage because then all your getting is sluggish/strained performance for a longer period of time, and if they put out the required voltage than sellers are lying about the actual caqpacity...

View 10 Replies View RelatedDell :: E1705 + Next Business Day / Nights And Weekends
Mar 14, 2008About a month after I purchased my E1705 I received a call from Dell trying to sell me an extended warranty. I gave my normal 'not interested' response and they came back with a really good deal for a 4-year Next Business Day + Nights and Weekends extended warranty. I'm now covered until 2010, assuming I'm still using the NB by then.
I ran into a problem with the NB on Wednesday AM (Eastern US) and called them around 10:30. The system would briefly light the power and disk leds and then immediately shut off (about 1/3 second of time total). I went through about 45 minutes of troubleshooting before they decided that they need to dispatch a tech. During the troubleshooting they had me remove HD, memory, WiFi and CD-ROM and went through various combinations along with a 'hold the power button down for 30 seconds'.
The tech showed up Thursday PM and swapped the motherboard but the problem persisted. Because he only had the motherboard as a spare he had to call in and request a graphics card and processor sub-assembly. He told me he would be in on Friday by noon and that I would be his first appointment.
Today (Friday) I checked around 3:00 PM and the tech hadn't arrived. I called the dispatch number and they told me that the parts hadn't been shipped from Dell. I then called Dell and they told me that the graphics card (6800) was on backorder and that it would probably be another 2-3 business days but they couldn't confirm.
Am I incorrect in thinking that purchasing a 'Next Business Day / Nights and Weekends' warranty should get you a next day repair? Right now I'm looking at a next WEEK repair. After speaking with Dell it appears that next day applies to each individual step in the elimination process and that all bets are off if they don't have the part stocked.
