You bought a dell. Most disapointed Chēlē.
Dells are better than HP. My last laptop was a HP. Lasted a year and a half, and the Motherboard melted because of a shitty ventilation system. Now it's just a very expensive mousemat.
Dell Support for replacement parts like batteries and chargers is fucking useless and overpriced as hell. Best off finding that stuff on Amazon or something. For me, replacement battery is about 115 quid on Dell. The exact same battery on Amazon is a 10er.
My gf has a hp pavilion dv6... shitty pos... The dvd doesn't work for some things... skyrim dvd didn't work, made a sound like it was scratching the disc... also the fingerprint thing doesn't actually turn on half the time/ doesn't work half the time... I should take it to get fixed, but the gf won't do it... she's too worried they'll wipe the hard drive or something
Laptop repair shops have that horrid habit of wiping the hard drive. My old laptop went in for repair twice, first time because USB ports, sound, audio jacks and CD player all died, USBs, CDs, headphones... nothing would read at all. Second time to get the CD player changed because it wouldn't even eject. Both times the HD was wiped clean.
I can understand why she doesn't want to get it fixed, but if it's really an issue, back up what you can't live without.
