Dell has three distinct product lines:
Inspiron: Shit. Cheaply made, shit components, not worth the money. I mean, they even feel cheap to the touch, most notably having flimsy plastic that would make toy manufacturers blush. You're literally pissing your money away if you buy anything Inspiron.
XPS: Decent. Won't fall apart if you look at it wrong. My desktop is an XPS that's 5 or so years old at this point (started as a Windows 8 computer), and is still going strong. I had more money coming in back then, so I intentionally made it future-proof (i7, 32GB RAM, 2TB HDD, GTX 660). Similarly, my current laptop is new, but the quality feels just shy of a Surface. The body is aluminum, so I'm not worried about it cracking/breaking if it's not handled like a Ming Vase.
Alienware: Gaming hardware. Dunno how the quality is since I've never been able to afford one. Used to be the name in gaming when it was an independent company, not sure if it still is.
