Dell Lead times....

 

We are getting very frustrated by the lead times on almost any piece of Dell kit at the moment.  Certain laptops are taking over three weeks to get to us which considering we can get HP next biz day is making us wonder why we are still supplying them.

The only point of note really is that you can build a Dell to your exact spec and then they manufacture it for you, hence the lead time. 

Apologises to any of our customers, and there are quite a few, who are still waiting on Dell kit, it really is out of our hands.

Too many smartphones....its all good for us...

The iPhone ins no longer the only kid on the block when it comes to smartphones, Google and now Microsoft all have credible alternatives to the mother of all smartphones.  The iPhone, as we found out yesterday, is still commanding such a high price point that it has to be making even the die-hard fan boys have a look at alternatives.  We spoke to Orange yesterday who wanted £110 for the iPhone on an 18month contract.

Can’t say we would ever recommend anyone going down the Nokia smartphone route though - this is one company that’s in DEEP trouble.

We found a decent review of the current crop of devices on CNET - link below:
