So far this issue with the stand with Dell is proving to be a pain in the ass. Dell is not informative. It says there are two possible stands for this computer that is going to be delivered here tomorrow, but it does not indicate if it is one, the other, or both that come with the computer. And only if you get lucky will you ever find that it is not VESA compatible. Why? Why even build a computer that does not allow the monitor, or in this case, the whole computer to be mounted on the wall? Wall mounting the whole computer is pretty much ideal for an all-in-one computer! Why would they build it so it can’t be?
I will hopefully open the box and find that there are two optional stands that are neither one attached to the back of the computer, and I will find that the place that allows me to attach the option will have a perfect bracket to easily adapt the wall mount I have to work on it. I am prepared with a cutting wheel and a drill if I need them! Obviously, what would have been ideal is to put it up to the bracket and find that it fits! So, if yo read this, and you are a Dell engineer, first off, shame on you. Secondly, why? Third, what’s wrong with you? I hope to beat you at this game!
We’ll see sometime tomorrow. Probably in the late afternoon, because I live in the middle of nowhere, and FedEX, who is as competent as Dell is, always delivers at goofy times. I say they are competent because they put a deliver by time on the tracking info, then they ship the item right up real close to the delivery address, and leave it at their warehouse for a day or two till the delivery time arrives, then they suddenly throw it off their truck as they go speeding past. Boy, I’ll tell you, shipping was so much better when it couldn’t be tracked. It arrived when it arrived, and that was that.
