My father and I bought me a new Dell XPS 1530 computer. It’s a nice computer that we paid a good $1400 dollars for. Unfortunately it wasn’t even 2 months from when I got it till it started having problems. I’m not sure what caused it but one day I booted it up and it gave me a blue screen telling me that I have a Memory Parity Error. Their XPS line is their “top” line of notebooks too, I might understand my experience coming from an Inspiron or something lessor, but not an XPS. So I thought, “ok whatever we’ll just get it fixed by Dell and everything will be normal”. But no, that didn’t really happen. We called them and they connected to my computer remotely and updated my BIOS and other drivers. After they did that the Parity Error was still there. We called again and they did some more stuff but it just kept coming back. Thinking that I just got some bad memory, we ditched the 2GB and upped it to 4GB. We completely replaced the memory and upgraded but still that stupid blue screen and message would come back. We called them and they suggested replacing the hard drive, so we said alright and Dell sent a technition out within a few days. It worked good after that for the first day, but still, that damn message would come up. I wish I had used my mom as an example because she has had 2 other Dell notebooks and they have all crapped out. I’m not sure of the reason on why hers were acting up but I wish I had gone with a MacBook Pro. It would have been worth the extra cost. I would suggest to anyone wanting a laptop, to AVOID DELL! Go with an HP or Sony, freak, get a Gateway, you’ll still be better off. I know that I will NEVER buy another Dell Notebook.

Thanks Dell, for selling me this worthless piece of crap, I really appreciate it. If I had money to buy another laptop, I’d post a video on YouTube like this one, at least Apple knows their wrongs and fixes the situation and gave him a new notebook.

   Sorry to say this Kevo, but…”I told you so.” My Dell sucked too.

   I’m sorry you have had such a hard time with your computer. It’s totally weird. I’ve had a dell for a very long time mow and haven’t had any huge problems. Well, I hope you figure it out. Don’t cuss though.
