LAPTOPS!
I am talking about thier laptops (see headline).

2 cracked motherboards, 1 fried processor, 3 bad ethernet ports, 3 keyboards that couldn't keep the keys on, 2 had the cases coming apart unless I tightened the screws weekly.

If certain screws were loose the computer wouldn't boot, or charge the battery.

The springs that keep the screen open, wouldn't.

The display would rock side to side, up to 1/2 and inch on 2 of them.

Before you ask, the laptops were kept in a Samsonite briefcase. I've never had any problems like this with other laptops.

As for Dell desktops, I've had one. Lasted 3 months before the HD died. That was enough for my boss to never use Dell again. All my coworkers had dell laptops. We used to keep 3 around for spares while the broken ones were sent in for repair.
