Dell laptops can be by far the cheapest ( < $500) so you get what you pay for. Nothing intrinsically wrong with Indian tech support. If it bothers you ask to speak with a supervisor, most of them are in Round Rock, TX.

My own Dell has fried the power supply and hard drive and the display developed an odd bright spot, but after three years keeps plugging along. Not exactly a ringing endorsement...more like getting 200,000 miles from a Yugo.

Thank you for the information, but I fail to see your
point. Dell laptops don't break, therefore the tech
support in India won't be needed? Is that it?

I have had a Dell for a year and a half now and have
never had to call
support. They are solid machines and well worth
considering. The Red
Cross disaster kits are all Dell laptops.
