Why it is more possible to cutomise Dell computers?
Over the years, I bought 7 different computers from Dell, and the reasons for the man to have chosen Dell were:
1. the fact that you can create a customized version - e.g. change processor or adding memnory to get exactly the required configuration.
2 Dell seemed still more advantageous to office for money than other providers.
I am now looking for another couple of computers and am disappointed to discover that rof neithe that above seem to be true.
The price is still reasonable, but is better than its competitors, but the biggest problem is that ease of construction custom seems to have disappeared to be replaced by the same set of pre-configured models which can be picked up in a computer store. Pretty much the only option that is available is the color of the case (which, with any sense, cares about the color of a computer) and to add a set of expensive devices.
The base installation of custom build which has always been strongest selling point of Dell is spent.
Why?
Wow, this is very useful. So what you're saying, is that Dell is placed in the path of the 1980s, ordering things over the phone. They already had their online Configurator available in the end of the 1990s. It was part of the interest of their business model. Easy to use, no relative to the menus of the phone and hold the button once. No dealing with a sales person who doesn't even understand the basic techniques. I don't want to lose 30-45 minutes on the phone trying to see if someone might be able to customize something.
I fear that the current state of their online system is probably the result of an attempt to limit the types of transactions, people can get. What used to be coupons that have been good on any custom system is now valid on a single preconfigured machine. So if you want a better processor or a different amount of memory, you're out of luck. If you want to downgrade a component to save even more money, not a deal for you.
Almost all links to "Customize" a model on their Web site now allows you to do little more than change the warranty terms or add accessories. At least for desktop computers and laptops. The servers seem a little more configurable.
I miss the way things were about 6 years ago.

Have you ever tried the General troubleshooting steps?
1 force restart the phone now sleep and home for 10 seconds, button until the Apple logo comes back again. You won't lose data.

Why is it not possible to use SIRI on my apple TV remote to control the HomeKit products? I should be able to control all the devices of HomeKit with my SIRI voice remote control and using Apple TV!
If the new apple TV can act as a concentrator HomeKit and I use SIRI on my iPhone to control my locks, thermostat, lights, etc. Why am I not able to do the same thing with SIRI via voice commands on my Apple TV remote? When is this going to work?
Also, when Apple will come out with a response to the echo of Amazon? I've tired to wait... do it already! If you build it, they will come...

Hi, I use Adobe Photoshop Lightroom output CC Camera Raw 9.5 2015.5. I am now with Nikon D4s shooting but the lightroom does not read the RAW format. Why? Is it possible to import the RAW files in lightroom? Thank you for your help
I'm not an apple person. I read on a few different forums that apple has changed what is called 'writing' in a recent update to apple. You may need to find an Apple expert to show you how to make sure you are allowed to write to files or locations on your computer.

Program delivery very slow without USB drive (not used) on DELL computers
Hello
We have a general problem, if our LabWindows V8.1 XP software is running on DELL computers (without key USB; there is no function used by/with the USB key). Execution time of the program is about 10 times slower, if the USB is inserted. With USB inserted, program-execution time are ok.
With any other PC, a USB stick inserted does not cause this problem.
You have enabled for the (Microsoft ReadyBoost) USB ReadyBoost? I've never used this feature before, but I suspect that it is possible for it to have a negative impact on the performance of your system.

is it possible to connect 2 computers 2 different 1 modem wireless routers
is it possible to connect 2 computers 2 different 1 modem wireless routers?
Why do you have 2 routers?
Depends on the design of the modem. It probably only supports a connection. So, you'll probably end up making a wired connection between modem and "1 router" and if you really need a second wireless router, install a wired connection between the 2 routers.

Why Overwatch does not not on all Apple computers?
Why Overwatch does not not on all Apple computers?
Because it runs on Windows and the authors have not written a version of OSX. You could set up "Boot Camp" and install Windows on that, then you can run it if your machine is capable (although it will not work on a Windows computer up-to-date). You can also install Windows in a 'virtualizer' such as Parallels, but it is quite unlikely that a complex game would run satisfactorily.
