    you post an article which says and i quote "Crucially, in their complaints to Dell in the lawsuit, customers describe losing valuable information when their computers malfunctioned. Dell, by contrast, denied that that the capacitor issue had caused data loss. "

    do i lol now or later? Motherboards going bad don't affect harddrives. Did the writer even bother to check? I'm sure Dell will get sued for that and lose too.

    Yes, those where the infamous Optiplex GX270. We had 35 of those at work and 6 of them died a painful capacitor dead. One day after every death we had a guy from Dell replacing the main board for us, no questions asked. We are still very happy Dell customers, even today.
