- BizarroLand 3y agoBecause they were the most well known of the affected companies and they didn't really do much to repair the goodwill the issue cost them. Sure, they "put up $300 million for repairs" according to https://www.theguardian.com/technology/blog/2010/jun/29/dell-problems-capacitors https://www.theguardian.com/technology/blog/2010/jun/29/dell..., but I bet the lions share of that went to their largest purchasers, so the people who blew their school's IT budget on Dell computers were just SOL.
