Mossberg Misses the Mark

Over the holidays I read an older Tech raving about the Windows XPS. Mr. Mossberg could not have been more wrong. If the Monitor breaks, the entire PC must be replaced. If a Component fails, you’re at the mercy of Dell Parts. EVERYTHING in the XPS is proprietary, meaning you must order the part from Dell.
Power Supplies that normally run $40 now are $120 on up. Dell is not the only one. Sony’s Power Supplies run $140 for the same $40 dollar one. You must replace the Sony power pack with another Sony power pack.
Before you buy ask the sales clerk how much proprietary hardware is in the PC your thinking of buying. Anything proprietary will slow your PCs repair time by weeks, because the parts have to be shipped. Come in my shop with a HP or an E-machine, the parts are in stock…..
