I mean, behind the wall plug they turn into one anyway.... it doesn't matter where the joint is, as long as there are no components in the middle.. (wich there are not.. the case isn't the middle, is one end)]]>Jan 18th 2008 12:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/

I got a toshiba laptop 2 years ago and it had a 2 prong plug. I got shocked several times from it. Then the power adapter broke so I bought another off ebay. The one I bought had 3 prongs and I didn't get shocked by it ever again. 3 prongs make a big difference.]]>Jan 17th 2008 7:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/
But the m1330 has a whole lot more problems than the shocking. For instance.. the fucking annoying whine!! ]]>Jan 17th 2008 9:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/Jan 17th 2008 10:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/Jan 17th 2008 6:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/
My M1330 came with 3 prong, no problems.

This is the best laptop I have ever come across. ]]>Jan 17th 2008 8:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/

Interesting that no one made a fuss about Toshiba over the past three years.]]>Jan 17th 2008 6:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/Jan 18th 2008 12:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/Jan 17th 2008 6:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/Jan 17th 2008 6:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/Jan 17th 2008 7:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/Jan 17th 2008 6:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/Jan 17th 2008 6:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/
They seemed to have learned from this mistake and fixed it.

I'd imagine the problem to be mostly with touching the case with a sensitive part of one's arm (or other sensitive body part? Yikes!)

Still, not a good idea to go around giving your customer that kind of tingle.]]>Jan 17th 2008 6:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/Jan 17th 2008 6:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/
still get shocked on the wrists when using my Compaq, which gets annoying very quickly.]]>Jan 17th 2008 6:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/Jan 17th 2008 7:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/Jan 17th 2008 7:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/Jan 17th 2008 7:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/Jan 17th 2008 7:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/Jan 17th 2008 7:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/

Heck, some engineers I've worked with check if there's voltage on something by touching it.. they intentionally put their fingers on 127VAC lines lol... I prefer to use the ol' multimeter.. sometimes it's wrong to assume it's a 127 volter.. what if it's a 440 or 880v industrial power line :-S]]>Jan 18th 2008 12:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/Jan 18th 2008 3:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/Jan 18th 2008 3:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/Jan 18th 2008 10:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/dell-laptops-packing-a-jolt-again/http://direct2dell.com/one2one/archive/2008/01/18/41538.aspx
