Dell Fixes Ultrabook That Smelled of Cat Urine
Sockatume writes "The BBC is reporting that Dell's Latitude 6430u Ultrabooks have an interesting characteristic you won't find in any Macbook Air: the palm rest emits an odor like cat urine. An issue with a manufacturing process is thought to be to blame. Although Dell has assured potential customers that the issue has been fixed, reports in the Dell support forum indicate that units with the novel fragrance continue to ship out to users. Dell staff state that the palm rest will be replaced by Dell at no cost, but only if the unit is still under warranty."
Runs like shit, smells like piss.
Solving Unix problems since 1989...
obviously this is why they don't ship mice with laptops, they were all eaten.
if this is supposed to be a new economy, how come they still want my old fashioned money?
...for they are subtle and will piss on your computer.
Windows is like the faint smell of piss in a subway: it's there, and there's nothing you can do about it.
and I thought only IBM sold a Pee-series
"Urine" for a surprise!
I was disappointed to not find any Frosty Cat Piss posts down at -1.
My God, it's Full of Source!

Well obviously Apple patented human BO and Dell had to look elsewhere.
No kidding!!! What do you say at this point?
when I was a kid we had our cat fixed, but the liter box area still smelled like urine
Well, maybe you should have used a pint box instead. ;-)
Are you kidding? They would delete the comments on the community discussion board and tell the users they're smelling it wrong.
