I bought a Dell Laptop with windows 8 last Spring and while windows 8 is a real pain to get use to after much better windows 7, but I have found its been pretty reliable.

It came with McAfee, office and a three year extended warranty and I had no disks to load as the basic SW comes on the hard drive. Setup was VERY easy.

Windows 8 is frustrating though.

I posted a thread a while back in search of comments regarding Windows 8 and other OS. I’ve come to the conclusion that ppl prefer anything but W8. This is a gift, so we had no say in the choices. Unless we take the Dell in and exchange it, but from what I’ve seen, we’d have to use the same OS regardless.

I’m posting from an ancient Dell Latitude D610 with issues.

Who really knows? It’s a crap shoot on the hardware reliability.

Software is an issue! Support for Windows XP is ending in April. There are numerous questions as regards purchasing a new puter.

Should I take this dinosaur to Linux? Pitch it into the recycle bin?
