Founded in 1984 by Michael Dell, Dell Computers has been the largest distributor of computers in the world for many years. When Dell laptop computers first appeared on the market among a flurry of competitors who had been in the game much longer, not too many people took notice. But, that has changed, and now Dell ships more laptops than many of its competitors combined.

What makes Dell laptops (or notebooks) so popular? Dell laptops can be customized easily to a consumer’s needs through Dell’s popular online ordering process. But, even on the aftermarket, a Dell laptop is considered a reliable, long-lasting computer that will hold its own, long after many of its competitor’s computers. In other words, a Dell laptop is an attractive investment.

Many upgrades and improvements are available for Dell laptops. Some consumers like knowing that they can go to Dell’s website, type in their laptop’s serial number, and be told exactly what parts they can purchase – and even purchase their upgrades from the same website. Just like Dell’s other computer products, these parts are shipped instantly from Dell’s massive warehouse facilities across the country.

Dell recently moved its customer service operations overseas in order to save money, but by all accounts, it hasn’t affected its reputation for outstanding customer service. Twenty-four hours a day, customers can call with questions, to place orders, or to schedule service on their computers.

The most popular lines of Dell laptops, which Dell still refers to as notebooks, are the Inspiron, the XPS, the Latitude, and the Precision Mobile Workstations, each increasing in price. The Inspiron series is their longest-running series and is very popular with people looking for an affordable laptop for school or occasional use. Their Latitude series offer more power and larger screen resolutions and are an excellent choice for professionals needing a reliable, affordable laptop. Dell spares no expense on their Precision Mobile Workstations. Like the name implies, anything that a full-powered desktop can do, the Precision series can perform equally well. Dell took the time to engineer the battery capacities to appropriately handle the demand of each machine.

If you ever see a Dell laptop on the aftermarket, you don’t need to be concerned about its status. Dell has never produced a bad laptop and recalls for various laptop issues common with other companies (overheating, battery explosions) have been nearly non-existent at Dell. Thus, the aftermarket for Dell’s laptops has always helped to increase the value of owning a Dell laptop. Each owner knows that there will almost always be a serious aftermarket interested in the purchase of their older Dell laptop.

If you are looking for a reliable, consistently-solid performer for your next laptop or notebook computer, consider a Dell laptop. If you want to find a real bargain and still be assured of a quality computer product, examine some used Dell laptops available to find a computer that is capable of meeting your needs, while assuring you of long-lasting durability and performance.
