    Dell + Saturn

    how appropriate... a mediocre bland product with numerous technical problems and questionable styling and build quality teamed up with... well... the same.

    trade in

    I think if I got a Dell with a new Saturn I'd sell it and get an iPod. Then again I'd sell the Saturn and get something else too.

    Dell/Saturn

    Pathetic...truly and hopelessly pathetic. Apple must truly be out of the game, irrelevant, and behind the times if everyone and their dog continue to ride in the wake of their success.

    All kidding aside, there seems to be only one true innovator in the personal computing sector...that is Jobs and Co.

    Mediocrity Unites!

    Sheesh!

    Talk about bland!
    Beige on Beige.
    Suburban mentality.

    It's Dull as Dell, dude!

    Wake me when it's over!

    What a shitbox!

    The Dell that is...or do I mean the Saturn?

    Read the specs on the freebie Dell: Celeron (128k cache), 128mb shared memory (video and system), value hard drive (5400rpm, 512k buffer), cd-rom (boring) etc. That Dell is a total crapbox and the press release claims it is Dell's most popular system! At $800! I like how the press release says:

    "Our research reveals a strong relationship exists between the younger Saturn target buyer and their use of, and desire for, the latest technology,"

    That is hilarious because the Dell 2400 is hardly the latest technology and Saturns are just low-end basic cars. Nothing even remotely close to "the latest technology".

    The press release should have stated this: "At Saturn, we understand our customers are here because they have no class and do not understand what a terrible product they are getting. We have teamed up with Dell because their customers are exactly the same"

    GREAT!!!

    Wow! Finally a truely powerful MP3 player for the Saturn. Do they include a car charger and a cassette adaptor for that Dell? I hope it also includes the car mounting kit. I wonder if the Dell can be mounted to the dashboard.

    HAHAHAHA!!

    Oh, that's the best laugh I've had in some time! What a craptacular team up!! Well, at least we know that Dell truly understands that their customers have no sense of style. Anybody that would buy that Dell junk box would be perfectly happy driving around in a crappy Saturn.

    For The Snowbelt

    This is great news. Now when your Saturn gets stuck in snow, you can slip the Dell under the tires for extra traction.
