I am convinced that buying on-line is better. I think that Dell having an exclusivity, and a better over-all choice of what you are getting, makes it the most popular brand, so perhaps I should trust public opinion on this. I haven't researched this completely, but I imagine you could buy any computer custom made.

I'm not convinced that buying a computer online makes any more sense than buying a suit online. I prefer to go directly with the manufacturer in person by going to a small local shop. If there's a problem, they have to look you in the eye and tell you what it is, not guess from a call center in India. I can bring it in in the morning and have a part replaced same day. They all have the same parts anyway.

But they don't have the same prices. I understand the desire to have a PHYSICAL PERSON responsible to make problems right, but IMO a warranty from a major computer assembler is worth a lot more than a local shop who has seen their profits plummet over the last 10 years.
