As I have mentioned in my blog, I am an early adopter. MANY people talk to me and ask me for technical advice.
So...
Here begins the Dell Body Count.
I will create a new entry from time to time that lists
How Many People I Have Convinced to NOT BUY A Dell Computer.
If you are reading this blog, and have also decided not to buy a Dell, please let me know in the comments for one of these "Body Count" entries on my blog. I will add you to the total count. Thanks.
To Date:
Five of my Co-Workers will not be buying any Dell Computer, because of my experiences. One ended up buying an MSI Wind.
Two of my personal acquaintances (non-work) have decided to go HP for their holiday Laptop purchases.
Three online friends have also chosen to go with other manufacturers for their netbook purchases.
10
What could this mean to Dell?
Based on how I was personally treated by the Dell company, ten potential customers have now decided to buy from other manufacturers.
If they were planning on buying the same configuration of the Mini I purchased, this could mean:
$530 * 10 = $5300 in lost sales
If they intended to buy a full desktop or a standard sized Laptop, this could mean:
$1400 * 10 = $14000 in lost sales
