2. They sugjest you review your first statement carefully. However they don't tell you that it takes 45 days to get your first statement. It will then be past the 21 day return policy and you will be stuck with it and credit terms you didn't agree to.

Also, according to the company, the warranty does not cover software, including the operating system and software added to the Dell-branded hardware products through their factory-integration system, third-party software, or the reloading of software. Non-Dell branded and Solution Provider Direct products and accessories, products with missing or altered service tags or serial numbers, or products for which payment has not been received are also not covered under the warranty.
