Installing Mac Os X Lion On Dell Xps L502x
Dell xps L502x Intel core i7 2670QM 2.2ghz Graphics Intel HD3000(work full QE/CI) & GT540M (does'n work) Ram: 8G.
2 Weeks ago I purchased a Laptop with the help of a Dell telephone sales Rep. I was not happy with what I received and made over 20 attempts to exchange it.
I was Even Willing to pay more.However, I was met with the worst customer service I have experienced in my life. Even though I was told I had 21 days to return the Laptop at no Cost, I am being charged 133.00 to return it. I was hung up on 13 times and Still to this day have not received a phone call to attempt to resolve the situation. I have been in sales for 20 years and as a Manager I would have resolved this matter on day 1.
With Social Media these days, who can afford the bad press. I guess Dell can afford it. I will be on a 133.00 Crusade to let the world know what a delightful experience I had and hope they avoid the same path I went down. Regards, William. Maybe prices are different here in the UK, but I have just bought an XPS L502x for less than 44% of the equivalent MacBook. (The 'equivalent' MacBook isn't exactly equivalent: it has a better processor, worse graphics, and other minor differences, but it's a reasonably fair comparison.) I have nothing against Macs: all else being equal, I'd probably have one of them instead, but all else isn't equal.
Macs cost more, and Apple are putting that extra money to good use -- their hardware and customer service is almost certainly better, but they're not in the same place as Dell at all. Avg usb disk security. Dell is one of many PC hardware companies in a cut-throat market where price is probably the most important issue. If Dell didn't cut corners (in hardware quality/design, and customer support), they'd have to raise their prices.
Apple don't need to be especially price conscious. They've found a 'reassuringly expensive' niche that they can occupy. There are two somewhat different markets being catered for here. All of the things about Dell that vex people could almost certainly be solved by them jacking their prices by 25% (along with an associated change in management attitude), but then they'd be trying to break into an almost entirely different market, i.e. A market of people who aren't so price sensitive, and, at present, most of those people are more than happy to buy Macs.
I know that the PC/Mac (and Windows/MacOS/Linux) debates often become irrational, but they needn't. It really is just a simple 'you pays your money' situation as far as I can see. There aren't two 'sides' here -- every individual has to decide what's most important to them, and, for many, it just happens to be price. Apple's Boot Camp software, included with Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard, v10.6 Snow Leopard and Mac OS X v10.7 Lion, lets you install and run Microsoft Windows and Windows-based applications on your Intel-based Mac.
System requirements for Windows 7 To use Boot Camp with Windows 7, you will need the following. For Mac OS X v10.7 Lion systems: • An Intel-based Mac that supports Mac OS X v10.7 Lion. • A blank CD or USB storage device to create Windows 7 Boot Camp Support Software (drivers) installer media. You can also create media that contains an ISO image of Windows 7 and the drivers. • At least 16 GB of free space on the disk onto which you’re installing for 32-bit, or 20 GB for 64-bit (for Microsoft Windows and Windows-based applications). If you are installing using Windows 7 DVDs, you will need one of the following Microsoft Windows discs: • An authentic, 32-bit Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional, or Ultimate disc.
• With you can use an authentic, 64-bit Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional, or Ultimate disc. See for step-by-step instructions. For Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard systems: • An Intel-based Mac. • A Mac OS X v 10.6 Snow Leopard installation disc. This can be either a purchased copy of a Mac OS X v10.6 disc, or a Mac OS X Install Disc 1 from a Mac that had Mac OS X v10.6 preinstalled. • Boot Camp Update 3.1 (download this from ).
