Funny title if you're old enough to remember Rocky and Bullwinkle :p
But I came here to warn whoever might be laptop shopping. I just got off the chat with dell tech support...for the 5th time in 2 months. I bought a Latitude, and the screen was wonky, and after three lengthily repairs they admitted it was a design flaw and refunded me. But that's not the end. I bought a Studio, figuring that the superior LED screen would keep any screen issues at bay. No such luck. The screen was missing 8 (EIGHT!) pixels in a blob. They fixed it, but screwed up the display. Now it only half lights up, and goes out every time I bump my laptop too hard. Of course, its going back again. I only hope its fixed this time for good.
Moral of the story: Dell's quality control sucks like Kirby on crack. Buyer beware if you care about screen quality and competence at all. I will be recommending HP and Toshiba to my clients, and I recommend them to you as well.
To anyone who read this far....man, you're freekin bored to be reading this. Peace, everyone.
