Alexx – I am on my Nth Dell laptop, where N is more than several.
I’ve not had any major problems with them and one that I bought in 2002 is on a farm in the country living out its retirement doing light duties with my Uncle. Everyone has been in working condition when I gave it up – none have failed.
Which makes my cack-handed attempt to clean the fan on this one a bit painful. I now have an Inspiron 7000 which only boots if you take the keyboard out and disconnect the power switch cable, then quickly tap it into place. It won’t run if the cable stays connected for more than a second or so.
Something Thinkpaddy would be nice – I looked at the X1 Carbon, but having had a 17″ screen for some time, I’m not sure if going back to 14″ would be a step forward.
