[AccessD] OT: Compaq vs. Dell

In my opinion, over the years, Dell is definitely the way to go.  Just
recently, Dell had a problem with one of the chips in some of their servers
(nearly all of them in a couple of their lines).....they sent a technician
out to each and every location that had an affected problem (unless the
in-house IT guys thought they could handle it) and replaced/fixed each one.
THAT is service.  

I have had Compaq PC's at home, since my first one (four in all), and almost
exclusively Dell at work (over the past 8 years.)  I have never had a
problem with a Dell.....and every one of my home PC's has given me problems.
I have sworn off Compaq, now......only Dell, from now on.

I Quote


Compaq now HP and are very good. Dell also very good and server support is
good - at least here.

He says there is little in it and it really comes down to price and support
required. Dell patches and software upgrades have been 100% with some
problems with Compaq

Dell works out slightly cheaper in the long term as you are not working with
a reseller. His judgement based on the support we get is to go with Dell.
