Dell Support is simply terrible.
They just follow a script of what to do next, reinstall drivers, reinstall applications, reinstall OS (!) (Twice) without actually trying to understand what the problem is.
I had two issues
One was that the 3.5mm jack on my new Dell did not work. As mentioned, they had me reinstall drivers, audio software and yes, even the OS. Nothing fixed it. They even replaced the motherboard with a new one and when the tech left and the computer was restarted, it was DEAD. So, another motherboard replacement.
After nothing worked, they were kind enough to replace the system with a refurbished one 4 months after purchasing a brand new computer and dealing with support for a few months. They did not even replace it with a new computer. Even on the replacement the 3.5mm jack does not work. I bought a USB headset and solved the problem differently. My Bose headphones will just have to be put away in a closet.
2nd issue was text jumping up and in MS Outlook, again after reinstalling software they wanted to again reinstall the OS. I said no.
The amount of time that I have spent and the loss of productivity is immeasurable.
Lack of thought and initiative to actually solve something, and definitely looking out for the bottom line when it comes to replacing a system with one that actually works.
I hope saving some money on this one computer was worth it to Dell because they lost a customer for life
