With alot of people getting laid off I was shocked to have Shaun ex2167169 tell me I was Malicious two times when I called to ask why I was not getting what the picture shown in the AD.He was so rude I canceled a 2000.00 order can not get anyone from the company to call me or e-mail about this from the company.I am getting from fedex and ups the order that I canceled 4 days ago.And know they want 45.00 to send back.also sent e-mails to his boss no reply his name is Selly Shoulin.I wish MR. Dell could see why a Great company starts to have problems with employees not caring.And I was on the phone for two hours doing this.Not Kool

This is mainly a reply to Fred's comment. Long story short, you shouldn't be buying a factory build in the first place if you are looking for a gaming machine. You should be building your own box. You are going to get your wallet cleaned out looking for a gaming machine regardless of which manufacturer you buy from.

I will never buy a dell. These machines are sold only for suckers. They purposely price differentiate consumers by making the chassis not accept certain parts. So if you buy a low end CPU but want a nice GPU forget it.. you need to upgrade to their expensive gamer line machines so DELL can rape your wallet.

I will definitely check out the latest Dell innovations when I shop next for a computer. If you customize them appropriately, they are the best deal for the money. Mine are quite fast! I have bought 5 dells to date, and am very satisfied.

FYI to the Mac'ys out there -

Only 17% of college students are choosing Macs this year. Apple does not come close to parity, even with Gen Y. They were only able to grow by offering windows compatibility, a smart move, even if the Mac OS is technically better.

I bought a Dell 10 months ago. they had to replace the motherboard in my laptop. took the service tech 9 days to get to my house and do the repair.

This was on next day service? After many years of being a Dell Dude, I do not think my next one will be a Dell dude.

Dell= lame service

All Dell Latitude Tech support is based on the mainland with Teir 1, 2 & 3 depends on what support level upgrades you do for. It's the consumer range Inspirion & Vostro are supported in India. Hence you pay more for the business range. You paying for better customer service and better consistency of built.

You don't get a DVI connector on the new Latitude because it comes with the latest technology "Display Port". This is where display connectors are moving over the next few years.

And if you purchase a laptop in "Cost-CO", wouldn't anyone expect the specification is of "low-spec" to meet the "Low Price".

We exist in a blame culture and nobody appreciate what anyone does anymore. If you have so many ideas, go take a pen and a bit of paper and make your own and see how long it would take you to be the next Michael Dell.

In the past I'd owned two VAIOs, but I bought a Dell from Cost-Co last year, because the price was good. Big mistake. It's far slower than the Sonys were, and there's nothing it does particularly well.

mmmmmm, not quite yet, but a decent first step.

If you want Americans and corporations to burn money they don't have this isn't even close.

Until dell brings support back to the mainland instead of foreign countries that do it for pennies, their support record will continue to fall. Plus, I just looked on the dell site for the latitude's specs…I cannot believe they still HAVE NOT put a DVI Connector on this product. I called dell once about DVI and they said oh its a lack of space…BULL SH*T! Apple's ibook which is small has a dvi, even acer for sake has one.
