Re: Dude! You're getting a Dell
We picked up one of these a month ago for my wife, she was tired of dealing with our old Gateway running Vista. It is our first Win10 machine and I'm finding a lot of things I think aren't as good with Win10 as they were with Win7, but that's another story.
My biggest issue with this computer is that there are no LED idiot lights. No "hey, I'm connected to AC", no "my battery is charging", no "my hard drive is currently spinning it's brains out". Not even a "dude, your wireless is on" or caps lock or num lock indicator. True, a lot of that info is available through the Win10 interface, but it's just annoying that I have to search around just to find most of this info, and not having an indication that the computer is actually on has tripped me up more than once when I first power it up and I'm waiting for something to pop up on the screen; a couple of times I thought I hadn't pressed the power button for long enough.
