    So my m15x has water damage and I do have accidental coverage and wanted to know what do you think they will send me if they can not fix it?

    Thanks

    Depending on how loaded your M15x is, they might offer you a fully loaded M14x or even an M17x bare bones style.

    You sure you spilled something on it? Or are you asking so that you can plan on spilling things on it? :p

    Dell's policy is equal or better replacement so be happy you can exchange it at all. Generally when they have to dish out a replacement they look at available refurbs and find the best fit. So there's no way to guarantee any specific system or configuration.

    Have you tried getting the replacement? If so, what did they end up telling you? My charge port has taken a dump and they said I had to send it in and it could take more than a week. I have 4 year accidental damage with on-site repair.
