There is nothing quite like building a flying machine out of a dead pet.
DELL is not quite the peach I would expect it to be. By that I mean that they have a very small focus group – the people who buy the biggest and meanest machines. Those are practically the only ones I’ve seen that keep getting updates, the cheaper buckets get nothing. Well, they get a bit for a couple of months, a few bits and pieces that correct a couple of bugs, but not nearly as much as the bit things.
I shall bring you the example I faced today – the latest GPU drivers DELL offers are version 268. The latest NVidia offers are version 301. Those numbers do not increase quickly. But the fact is, DELL optimizes the drivers for specific models, fixes compatibility issues and stuff like that. It is just they don’t do it nearly as often as they should. At the very least they should offer the newest NVidia drivers… Oh, and the DELL drivers had problems with handling Optimus.
In today’s world it is important to be tech-savvy, because maintaining proper function for your electronic devices requires thinking and knowledge. The tech support is nothing like it used to be.
