The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

I was looking at outlet and noticed a few DNS errors, now I can't seem to access any site without getting DNS errors.

Nameserver trace for outlet.dell.com:

Looking for who is responsible for root zone and followed b.root-servers.net.
Looking for who is responsible for com and followed e.gtld-servers.net.
Looking for who is responsible for dell.com and followed ns1.us.dell.com.

Nameservers for outlet.dell.com:

ns1.us.dell.com returned (SERVFAIL)
ns2.us.dell.com returned (SERVFAIL)
ns3.us.dell.com returned (SERVFAIL)
ns4.us.dell.com returned (SERVFAIL)

It's been spotty for the past two days. At least for me.

It works now though.

All is good now. At least it was up long enough for me to checkout of my order.
