I hate telling you this... Dell is short-changing most of their customers who have spent big bucks on their computers. Warn everyone you know about Dell! We are!

Gee.... how convenient!!! This has happened to many, many Dell customers. We are doing our part by warning everyone: students, faculty, staff members, friends, family, even total strangers, who are eye-balling Dells in stores, about Dell and it's shady practices-- how those, supposedly high-quality computers, mysteriously screw up shortly after the warranties play out. In theory, we paid $1,250.00 per year to use our XPS M1710 for two years... it played out almost 1-1/2 weeks past warranty. Like I said... how convenient!

useless 2-yr old ($2500) Dell xps M1710 with a fried NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GS card

I have a useless 2-yr old ($2500) Dell XPS M1710 with a fried NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GS card. Almost two years and one week later, this high-end laptop fried the video card. I keep this laptop off a flat desk with bottle caps under the feet because of the heat. I've always kept my desk accessories away from it, and kept it clean and free of dust--top, sides and bottom. Warranty was out after a year. You would think with a, supposedly, high-quality laptop, you wouldn't need it until after it was 3 or 4 years old.
After reading other Dell laptop owners experiencing my same problem on other forums, including Dell's own forum, and being told "you're scr*wed!" I've come to the conclusion, yep... maybe I am. My husband and I will help our hundred's of high school students, their parents, and our staff understand what is going on with these Dell laptops and let them make their own informed decisions... as for us, we won't be purchasing Dell products ANYMORE and neither will most of those people we come in contact with everyday and year after year. Thanks for allowing me to vent. Dell and NVIDIA should own up and correct this problem with their customers for free, otherwise, they are going to lose in the end. In today's economy, it won't take too long. We're going HP!!
