I thought it was funny that being unable to replace Dell battery while traveling in Japan is seen worse than having crashing and overheating macbook for 2.5 months + all the other problems.
Honestly the swollen battery made me fear for my life any time I used it. On planes it would swell so much (even when turned off) that the keyboard almost popped out.
This is…unwise.
I would never use a machine with a swollen battery, much less fly with one.
Indeed. But I had to take it back to Sweden somehow to get it repaired lol
I know, which is why I felt compelled to comment. Most business class dell machines and XPS can be purchased with next day in-home service. This beats going to a apple store for me.
Like I said in the post, Dell refused to offer any sort of service while I wasn't in the country I had purchased my laptop. I don't know if that's changed, but that was a complete deal breaker for me back then.
