Maaaaaan; I bought this new Dell notebook to write my university papers on, and today after I had waited for two weeks, it arrived.
Like the happy little nerd I am, I unwrap it and want to boot it up all excited...

Fans start....

Power LED is on....

Waiting for something to appear on screen....

Waiting....

Still waiting....

Blackness....

Now I contacted customer support, did some weird diagnostics and they're going to pick it up within the next week in order to repair it and send it back to me again. This means it will take at least two weeks until I'll get it back; which means that I can't start writing my uni papers as of now. Oh well, more time to lose games on ICCUP.

if you sit in a comp we all know how addictive the iccup icon is!! and in notebooks your gaming perfomance is much worse unless u have a good usb mouse but still the keyboard is meh.

dell *is* fairly high quality. yeah it's no toughbook but the notebooks they sell are quite good. of course, nothing's 100%, and this could happen. it's no different than my friend's macbook which had a similar issue

From what I can tell it appears to be pretty solid; although every component has a sticker with made in China on it, but I guess that's just the norm today :D
