Interesting, but as a daily user of one of these Dell laptops, I would never do this. Its some of the worst hardware I've ever had the misfortune to use.

- wolph 7y agoYou've obviously never tried an apple laptop. Over the years nearly all of the components of my 2012 mbp retina have been replaced several times. The only things that are still original are the ssd and the bottom plate. Motherboard issues within a year, weak hinges, battery failing within 2 years, power cables failing every 9 months. In all my years of using laptops (15 years before I got the apple) I've never had a failing power cable, until I tried Apple cables.

- wolph 7y agoGlad to hear that there are people not plagued with the issues I've had. Perhaps I've been very unlucky but even though I've loved using the laptop, the amount of hardware issues I've had made me want to go back to my thinkpads before. Not saying thinkpads are perfect, but at least they mostly favor quality over design.
