Plus, No one ever seemed to mention that these looked so nasty and cheap, with their cheaply made plastic covers. Although, later when Dell lost the contract, the looks were bought up too, that they looked hideous on the telly.
As a result of this, Dell lost the contract and compaq took over for 2006.

Burgers at Macdonalds are not the best burgers in the world, they're on a mass production line, designed to cater for the masses. Cheap and tasteless.
As a result of this, I ended up wanting to vomit, everytime I saw a Dell advert
On the other end of the scale though, when I saw someone with a Dell XPS laptop, I was drawn to it, beautiful and sexy. However, big bucks, the other end of the scale.
