    A motherboard, a central control cover, a processor and a heatsink fan was replaced on my 5 months old Dell XPS M1330. Detailed information here.

    Shouldn't "how long have you had your M1330" be factored in?
    If someone has only had it for 2 weeks, it doesn't mean much that they haven't needed their motherboard replaced. If they've had it a year, it means a lot more.

    I agree, I've only had mine for just under two weeks. No problems yet, but I didn't vote. I'm not going to worry about the issue, I have the 4 year warranty with complete care. Who knows, this issue may even get me an upgrade to the next XPS laptop. Plus, in 4 years this laptop won't be worth much to me if I'm even still using it.
