My Dell laptop is one month old today. The touch pad stopped working so I went through the diagnostics and was told it needed repair. All I had to do was pack it up and send it in free of charge. Unfortunately, I am travelling right after Christmas so that was not an option. I asked for another option and was told I could pay to have it serviced within a few business days. Dell called a short time later to say the service visit would be $220.00 which is 1/4 the cost of the Inspiron laptop. I have decided to return the laptop and not purchase another Dell.
