I have three Dell Canada systems. Excellent service and support. I have not had one moment of trouble with any of their systems.

I ran into a problem with my Gateway stylus it was purchased through Tiger Direct. The electrical plug transformer got wet and shorted out.

I searched for a replacement through gateway, but eventually found a company online that sells replacement parts. The original manufactures price was in the range of $75.00 but the acceptable replacement through a secondary manufacturer was under $25.00.

Bottom line - it not only works well, - no problem -and equally shopping online saved me big time!

Lightbulb Re: Gateway tablets and laptops.

Wow, I hadn't thought about the Gateway stuff in a long time.

I had a Gateway CX table that got about 30 gallons of water dumped on it. No workie no more.

BUT, at the time it happend I had one stylus I was using and two more in boxes (never opened the padded envelope they were shipped in). Yeah, I lost and broke one or two and learned to keep backups, but it was a great tablet PC.

Anyway, If one of you guys up in Canada want them, I MAIL them to you for $100.00 for all three.

I was going to put them up on EBay over a year ago but somehow just never got around to it and then kinda forgot about them being up there on the shelf.

My experience with Dell Canada was not this bright. I called to enquire about small adaptor for my PDA. I was transfered at least dozen times from one department to another. Finally I got somebody who was able to search the part number for me after approximately 20-25 min on line. When I was ready to order, they got all my information, and then said that they don't ship to Canada. BTW, I called Dell Canada phone number, got "Welcome to Dell Canada" greeting message, but then apparently was transfered to US.
