From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

Dells are fine, no different to any other brand.
All of the components, boards, displays and everything else are made by the same factories in China with the same quality control anyway.
It's like comparing TVs, mp3 players, mobile phones or baked beans. Fuck all in it apart from brand loyalty/prejudice.

You get like that when you pay £850 for something that overheats and has a battery that lasts 20 minutes |

Whatever. My laptop cost £299 two years ago and is fine (battery still lasts an hour and I vacuum the fan out every six months). It's all hype and the 'I've got a newer/more reliable brand/bigger/better/faster/nicer colour' stuff bores me shitless after 30 years in IT. |

I think the phrase you want is 'fanboy'. What about cars and motorbikes? Football teams. They all have the same components they must be the same. |

I have to argue here that Heinz baked beans taste far more tomatoey and have a thicker more flavourful sauce than smart price. |
