a small piece of advice for non-spammers .... spammer terrorists are not allowed to read this! Dell is a fantastic laptop and PC maker...but it has power problems with it's battery and other aspects...you should always get extended warranty...and after 3 years (when a PC is outdated) buy a new one... I don't know of anyone who came across the above problem or even has a above model...but my piece of advice is: Buy only DELL and buy with an extended warranty! pS.: ifany of you spammers read the following then pleasekill yourself because the above was from your death.
