My grandma bought a very expensive desktop from dell 2 years ago. Was supposed to be cutting edge, best one you could buy at the time, a P4 3.0, with a 19" LCD, the works. No USB device would plug into it, 4x shipping it back and forth the usb works. Now the computer completely sucks. Honestly I hate using it.
My computer, something I put together under 300 3 years ago, is honestly about 5x faster feeling then her's.
I won't buy a dell after seeing this.
