# you have to take into consideration that
Dell are a difficult company to deal with. They will sell you a cheap item because it is bespoke manufactured and made from proprietary parts. They rely on you having no option but to return to them in the future for replacement parts. A small example is a motherboard in a desktop that a friend needed replacing. Dell quoted £230 for the board to be replaced and that it had to be done by their qualified staff.

I replaced the thing for £52 ( I did not charge labour but you get the picture ).
