woo hoo more cheap crap from Dell! Seriously I get people asking me all the time "Is this normal?" when I show up to repair their low end Dell laptop. What am I expected to tell them? You buy cheap you get ****. There isn't any great mystery to it. Dell's low end wares are for crap. there "high" end stuff isn't much better but its at least into the OK range of things. System boards simply should not blow out at frequently as they do on Dell systems.

Yeah, Dell's cheapest notebooks are absolutely terrible in my experience (work has bought some to include with jobs).
