“Devir had no choice but to take his case to the Small Claims
Court, and so he sued Dell for the cost of the Windows installed on
his computer — NIS 550 ($137.)

“Dell presented the court with an aggressive defense, claiming
that not only did Devir fail to follow the return policy, he
knowingly bought a laptop which had the system already installed on
it, instead of buying one free of any operating systems.

“The latter claim fails to live up to itself, as Dell Israel’s
website does not give the private consumer the option of buying a
laptop without Windows.”
