Dell makes tablets. I’d stay away, they’re too new and Dell isn’t extremely reliable in the laptop dept…



A tablet sounds good, but I’m afraid my handwriting is too sloppy for it to be translated. While I was on DOTL I went into the bookstore and spoke to a girl about CavComputers. she explained the whole Dell vs Apple thing, but what she told me about warranty support, down time etc was really different than the pitch on the CavComp website. For Dell laptops, she said 5 days til service and the website pitch said next day. She said you could buy direct from Dell and still get service from Cav Comp but the website video seemed to suggest something else.

My plan was to drink the Cav Computer Kool Aide and pay extra for the service but it’s not clear that I’d be better off than going to Dell Direct and getting a custom configuration.

What do most ppl do?
