[wplug] (OT) Laptop Durability

[ehsiung at bellatlantic.net]

Similar experiences here; Dell's quality does seem to be slipping. My company 
bought 9 Dell Latitude D800 a couple of months ago. Within the first day, one had a 
video card go bad. Just recently another one had a problem with the LCD screen. 
Both problems were repaired quickly by Dell but these problems are in stark 
contrast to our earlier Dell laptops which were pretty bulletproof.
