I have Dell d 600 laptop and it is the worst brand i have ever come across in my life. In 6 months i have experienced following issues which after digging internet are known to be headache for most dell users:
1) Palm heats up as hard disk is located beneath without any insulation
2) Weak LCD support joint (Saw Pathetic Plastic when i opened my laptop) resulting in LCD swaying all the time and consequently ruining Hinges before time.
3) Unshielded charger cables resulting in acting as antena caching electromagnetic flux from around and carrying to either in charger or Power controller chip in mainboard or both ruining either one or both things.
this is the list i have came across till now . dont know how many are more to come. please also share urs.
