Dell Inspiron 530 Desktop Computer Review

Here's my problem: I purchased this computer when I went away to college. You've probably noticed that Dell commercials center on students (at least, they used to). But the computer broke twice within one year - one time when it broke, the screen cracked; to be fair, that was probably something my roommate did. Maybe it was even something I did - all I know is that I looked at the computer one day and the screen was cracked on one side. I continued to use it (colleege student = no money), but the crack just got worse and spread. Eventually 1/4 of the screen was covered in this odd broken pixellation look.

The other time, which was actualy the first time it broke, the power cord stopped working. DHL came to pick it up, and the guy driving the DHL van told me and my mother that he picked up more broken Dells than anything else.

Eventually got rid of it for a refurbished Compaq laptop - way cheaper, and lasted way longer.
