    I've had an M1530 for nearly 3 years now (have another year on a complete care warranty), and I've already had the motherboard/gpu replaced 2 times due to temperature related failures. Recently it's started the process of crashing during games and having graphics glitches once again, and I was told last time I had it repaired that if the same failure occurs again, they'll replace it with a new notebook. Anyway, I was wondering what others that have recently had their M1530s replaced are getting in exchange? Is Dell sending SXPS 1640s, Inspiron 15s, XPS 15s, or even Alienwares?? The last is a pipe dream surely, but I'd be curious to know what they'd replace my laptop with when it inevitably fails again in the near future...
