All very expensive (they're providing CAD/CAM/CAE engineering services and they're also developing software. Win32, Win64, plus Linux servers.)<br /><br />They have never managed to get their Dell hardware repaired in Romania! They have waited 60 days for a new SCSI HDD, etc.!<br /><br />It's better be working than calling for Dell's help! Their official channel sucks in this country!<br /><br />OTOH, what can eMag do? Giving you another laptop in return? I very much doubt this could happen in the said country...<br /><br />Well, when my laptop will eventually die, I will however consider eMag.ro. BTW, do you have any data on how Debian is supported by HP 500 Pentium M-740? (700 EUR, VAT included, for 512 MB RAM, 80 GB HDD.) I wouldn't bother buying any HP nxNNNN, because "nx" are actually Compaq.<br /><br />Oh, I know HP sucks. And the batteries are prone to die.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134723925265805427.post-58443800606398715012007-01-09T02:27:00.000+02:002007-01-09T02:27:00.000+02:00since when does dell keep stock? i thought they pr...since when does dell keep stock? i thought they produce to order!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134723925265805427.post-87673759113678040812007-01-08T20:26:00.000+02:002007-01-08T20:26:00.000+02:00Be serious.
