question about dell returns

[dabuddha]

Does anyone know if Dell has any type of money back guarantee? I tried calling but finally hung up after being on hold for over 45 minutes.
I'm thinking of getting an inspiron 700m but I'm not sure about how well the vid card is in this thing. So if I decide it's not what I need, will Dell take it back or am I SOL?

I wish Dell had a store or kiosk in my area so I could see it in person 🙁

There's a restocking fee, if I recall correctly.

I have never had to pay a restocking fee...

never even heard of one with Dell...

Ripped from Dell

If you're gonna try and play games on the 700m you're better off getting a 600m since it has a radeon 9000.

In my case, that would mean I still wouldn't be able to return it?

they'll charge an ungodly amount to ship it back to them. just do it yourself.


and the 700m graphics aren't spectacular. but it will play dvds and solitaire.

From all the reviews I've read, the 600m's build quality is flimsy compared to the 700m. Unless someone here has one and would say otherwise 🙂

Well there are a few games that it has to play.

AOE2
AOM
Rise of Nations
Diablo 2

If it could play AOE3, that would be nice but I'm thinking that's asking for too much from this lappy.
