Having done some product development in my time, I'd like to think there's a little more to it than that. ;)


(But occasionally, the top exec just does make a call that leaves most everyone else bewildered, no doubt about that)

But hay I do have some crazy ideas sometimes so who knows

Work provides us Latitudes, mine's a 5400, nothing special.

But my home system is an XPS13, which I absolutely love.

Lati is a workhorse.  Reliable and stable.  It's the standard corporate laptop.

But all of our C-level execs carry XPS13 or maybe XPS15 as part of their "executive jewelry."

I ordered a Precision 7770 and it was build to suit

Its not an emergency so I chose what I wanted

This is a backup to my current computer Alienware 17 R5

Im having a battery issue with the Alienware and will have to install a new one

I wanted a 2nd computer to help me with the instructions which are involved and for just in case I screw up
That’s some serious cheese. Nice unit.  I honestly don’t know what separates computers from one another these days.

when you buy a computer you basically marry the company making it

I really like Dell for its service and the fact they make some very good laptops

I also like the fact that they have very good service manuals and Im not a slave to a repair shop

Great News on my new Dell Precision 7770

Dell originally told me the ship date would be Oct 25th which was a bummer
Today I got an email telling me the new laptop would ship on Sept 29th

Wow I guess Dells supply chain must have improved
