When queried as to the reason for the move, Dell issued a statement saying the Adamo XPS was only ever meant to be a special edition “engineering marvel”, designed to showcase the company’s design prowess.

A week after that statement, Dell has backtracked, with the system on sale again. Dell clarified its initial statement and says it never intended to discontinue the Adamo XPS, that its sales continue to remain strong, both online and in stores, and that it deliberately restricted its sale to control demand and prevent excessive shipping times.

Dell says that misinformed sales reps were the reason why it was suggested that the product was at the end of its life cycle.

Apple is legendary for making the batteries of it products such as the iPhone inaccessible due to the flush plastic casing. This means that Apple customers are unable to change the battery of the product themselves and must send it back to company and pay it a fee to have the battery changed.

Apple has departed from its usual replacement policy, and with the much anticipated iPad is offering customers a brand new product, rather than offering a replacement battery.

“If your iPad requires service due to the battery’s diminished ability to hold an electrical charge, Apple will replace your iPad for a service fee. The service costs US$99 plus $6.95 shipping. The total cost is US$105.95 per unit.” said a posting on the support section of Apple’s website.

Though is may seem incredibly generous to get a brand new product, the company warns that no personal data will be transferred to the replacement tablet, and asks customers to back up all personal data and settings, before sending their old product back for replacing.

The publication polled 7,000 of its subscribers, and asked them whether they owned a computer and to rate the manufacturers after sales support. The readers were asked to rank their manufacturer in four different categories including online support, phone staff, wait duration and problems solved.

Apple lead the way sweeping all four categories for both laptops and desktops, managing an overall score of 87 and 86 out of a possible 100 respectively.

Dell came in a distant second place, scoring 55, followed by HP/Compaq who scored 53, with Acer bring up the rear scoring 39 for its desktop support.

Apple’s lead was smallest in the laptop space, but not by very much. Chinese computer manufacturer Lenovo placed second with a score of 63, 23 points short of the score chalked up by Apple. Toshiba ranked third with a score of 60, followed by Dell in fourth place, HP in fifth and Acer in last place.

Apple managed a slight improvement in performance compared to its result in the previous year’s poll, though Consumer Reports says there is a seven point margin of error, which means slight changes are not conclusive.

One of the reasons given for Apple’s strong performance is ironically one of its chief criticisms. Apple tightly controls its ecosystem, and many say this reduces consumer choice and allows the company to dictate price levels.

Despite that criticism, the ring fenced ecosystem allows the company’s tech support staff to easily identify and diagnose problems, cutting back on the need to bounce customers back and forth between different vendors when they require tech support.
