Dell is Misleading Customers of their Laptops

Aug 7, 2016 2:15PM PDT

I have a 150 Mb Internet. I found out I am only getting 90MB from my Inspiron 5759. This is the top of the line Intel 6th Gen with 16 Gig of memory. Dell support just informed me that this machine has only a 10/100 LAN Card, I looked at the sales web site. They only show this fact in a description of the RJ45 Port. It seems to me very disingenuous that they would hide the fact that this is not the kind of LAN card anyone paying for top of the line would expect.

I was under the impression the Inspiron line was the value line with the Latitude and XPS models carrying the middle and high end line.

So the Yugo with an automatic?

Did you hear the latest upgrade? Deicer on the rear window so your hands won't freeze to the car as you push it.

Not that the Inspiron is a Yugo, but it's not top of the line.

Perhaps I was wrong about the top of the line

The Inspiron 7000 is now a 2 in 1 . I suppose I just can not understand a 16 Gb Memory Laptop, with a 6th gen I7 chip and a 2 Tb hard drive with out a gigabyte LAN port. My last Dell purchase. I still say the way they buried LAN card speed is misleading. Previously my laptops were Toshiba or HP. I should have gone with one of them.

HP you say? I was burned by them.
