        could be worse, I daily drive an Alienware

        Dell has made some just… so good hardware design decisions yk? I’ve sent it in for repairs twice to have the trackpad replaced since it was flaking out and either registering nothing or what I can only assume was the result of two contact points being shorted together randomly jumping the mouse all over the place. I’m on my third trackpad, it’s not even been six months yet, and I’m already seeing the warning signs.

        Also there’s a loose connection on the mobo between the CPU and the audio chip meaning that if it gets bumped the speakers will either cut out or blast static at max volume with no way to turn it down.

        Also it refuses to accept power from anything other than an official Dell charger regardless of wattage.

        I just love this company so much.

          I think people that complain about Dell laptops have been using shitty ones. There are a lot of awful Dell laptops but their high end devices like their Precision laptops are really stellar.
