Solve : Dell: recalling 4.1M laptop batteries? |
Answer» F..Y..I... I think you are probably referring to some AC adapters that were possibly defective.Dell recalled over a million adapters and something THOUSAND batteries at the same time (or vice versa) Laptops I trust: Acer ASUS HP/Compaq Toshiba (Though I have never used them, I haven't heard complaints about them) And... I think that's it. OH, also, Alienware....I have an Acer Aspire 3000 laptop. But the power adapter in the back is VERY dodgey! Apart from that no complaints! Chris Quote Laptops I trust: Why on earth would you say that? And I'm just curious how you came up with that list? You cannot have had extensive experience with all of those at your ripe old age. Quote QuoteWhy on earth would I not?WELL you EITHER "trust" them based on personal experience, extensive reading on testing by consumer reports, etc., brand name recognition which may or may not have anything to do with laptops, or you have responded to advertising only with no direct experience, or like them because of the color, or...what else am I missing? What other possibilities are there? Because one didn't blow up in your hands it seems OK?Laptops I trust: Just trying to get inside your young mind.Dell's infrastructure has to really be hurting these days. This is the third major recall in the past 30 months. The GX260 desktops were all shipped with defective Maxtor hard drives, and the GX270's all had hooped motherboards. That said, the Dell line of laptops is up there with the best on the market. And keep in mind, these batteries were made by Sony, not Dell.Oh, no. Not SONY!!! Quote Well you either "trust" them based on personal experience, extensive reading on testing by consumer reports, etc., brand name recognition which may or may not have anything to do with laptops, or you have responded to advertising only with no direct experience, or like them because of the color, or...what else am I missing? What other possibilities are there? Because one didn't blow up in your hands it seems OK?Well, your confusing me even more. Why did you highlight Compaq/HP? I have heard good THINGS about both. Compaq and HP are the same company. I have a Compaq laptop which I really like, and am using a Compaq PC right now. They have EXCELENT support. Could be time for a poll......Not another poll. :-/ Still trying to determine who might make a good moderator someday. Poll online! If you want more options, please say so! |
