Bring Back Original Dell Quailty !

260 points posted to Desktops and Laptops by hal2001 Mar 27

Dell has cut corners on it's Inspiron 530 ( yes I know it's the lower cost product line) by leaving out the easy to open top case release of it's parent Dimension model, and in other small ways both inside and out. No it's no biggie to grab a screwdriver and waste two minutes opening the case on the new line of Inspiron 530's that now replaced the old Dimension series. What it is saying to me as a customer is I need to think twice about a Dell purchase as Dell is more then willing to lower the quality overall to keep that bottom line where they want it. Compare a Dell from a year ago to the same product line (XPS products also) and you'll see the difference yourself. Don't sell the customers a box of plastic and imported parts and then put what once was the proud DELL name on the outside.

Mar 28		 I think (as you suggested yourself) that the Latitude, Precision, and XPS lines still seem to have excellent build quality and industrial design.

It's kinda ashame that most people's impression of Dell comes from their (admittedly clunky) Inspirons.

Perhaps they should get more Latitudes, Precisions and XPSs in their retail outlets so people see that Dell makes good higher-end computers too.

Mar 29		 It's hurting the whole Dell product line with the way they have done away with the original (very good Dimension series ) and now pushing the as you say "clunky Inspiron" series. Major drop in quality, In my talking with other Dell owners they feel droping the Dimension and saying to us buy Inspiron was the wrong move for Dell to make.
