I've seen many "dead out of the box" Dells lately which makes me question their testing and QA process. I still recommend Dells, but the quality seems to be slipping. We purchased three Dell Precision 670 workstations, which cost $6500 each and two of the three were "bad" and had to be replaced. My new Dell laptop developed a keyboard issue and had to be replaced and 3 out of the last 5 new Dells we bought at work failed very soon (<15 days out of the box).
