Dell Dimension 3100
I was hesitant when I leased my >Dell Dimension 3100 for small business. I leased mine 14 months ago, and have to admit that I am impressed. My decision to lease was influenced by the rising cost of software. I upgraded my >Dell Dimension 3100 with the XP professional, Adobe, and other small business software. The software alone would have cost me almost $2000 if I purchased it independently.
The Dimension 3100 comes with an Intel 4 Processor, Media enhancements, a CD writer, 17″ monitor, keyboard, and speakers. You can also choose to upgrade to a 160 gig hard drive, and a DVD player, an optical mouse, and better video and sound cards.
I layout magazines on my computer and have no trouble with ‘lag’ or overload.
I do regret not upgrading my video and sound card. I am not impressed with the speakers or the keyboard. I use to have an ergonomic keyboard, and the dell one left a lot to be desired.
I pay about $50 CDN a month for three months. I also purchased the service agreement.
I have no problem with the price. The service is excellent. I talked to a phone rep whenever I had a problem. I have not had any problem with my computer, but I did know someone whose CD writer burned out and it was replaced free.
When making the initial purchase, the customer needs to pay for shipping. I received three large, well packed boxes. Shipping cost me $148. I did not purchase the service ...
