I have a very great experience with Dell since last 5 years, I purchased dell in the year 2011 and I am currently using it with no issues in it. I havent faced any single issue in this not even the battery problem, still it runs for 3-4 hours on single charge. So its a very good experience for me while using dell. I like there speakers which are on top of the laptop, so due to that the sound may come more and very clear.
Most other brand laptop have their speakers on bottom side of the laptop and due to that their sound quality are worst. I like there configuration with very cheap price.
