we have to deal with dell all the time and the tech support is terrible.
their printers are just rebranded hp or lexmark ones and although their online model is very good for punters, they just suck big time.

if i was you get an hp/compaq, 3 year warranty, pretty robust etc etc.

(or even better a mac )
