    While agreeing that the IBM laptops are little short of superb, I have
    to disagree about Dell support, at least here in the UK. Just under a
    year ago the battery in my wife's Dell laptop, which at the time was
    about 34 months old, died completely. Dell had a new (completely free)
    battery on my doorstep within two or three days. The laptop is well into
    its 4th year now and is still going strong.

    My experience of their support is very good indeed.
