Frequently Asked Questions About Computers
When shopping for a computer online, is it better to buy from one of the big manufacturers directly?
Not only do large direct computer manufacturer-sellers offer great prices, but you are likely to get better technical support and discounts on computer accessories. This is because the manufacturer can provide customer support over the phone and online better than most online retailers.
If I bought my computer from an online computer store, can I get technical support?
Most online retailers do not provide direct technical support, but instead will direct you to the website, email or phone number of the manufacturer. This contact information should be included with a computer you purchase online. Additionally, most new computers will automatically contact the manufacturers web site when you register and use the internet. This is a good place for technical help and support.
Does the Dell guy on TV really work for dell.com?
No he is just an actor. But dell.com is one of the large computer manufacturers that sells directly to consumers over the internet.
