I have an Inpsiron 1525, paid whole bunch of money for it, I even paid extra 30 bucks to get the special designed lid cover. Served me well within one year, after the warranty expired things happened and I had to pay to replace the cracked screen, mouse button fix, hard disk replacement (my data was gone ) The battery can't even hold 1s. The last thing it happened was the mainboard dying. So I let it sit there for 2 years and now own an Alienware M14X, My brother suddenly brought it to the shop and paid like 35 bucks to repair. It now can serve him lol, they shop stole 1GB of my RAM tho. Damn.
