    I bought my Dell Vostro back in July and recently have been getting tired of it and rather a macbook, am I stuck with it or is it still possible to return?

    Sadly, you can return the laptop without a good reason, such as a damaged component.

    They won't accept a return, they'll repair it under warranty.

    I wish they would take it back...because with that return time line i would get a new dell laptop every 6 months and never have an old computer again!

    lol if you wait another 4 months then they will probably take it back.. Did you seriously think there was that possibility after 6 months? Your only option is to sell it..

    Now this is a funny thread "I bought a new car, drove it for 6 months and now want my money back to get a different car." Right................

    The sheer logic of the question, what kind of answer did you really expect? Please dear god tell me who does this on a regular basis so I can get a new computer. Last I checked any computer shop will only return or exchange under 30 days and at the cost of a restocking fee. Dell is 21 days.
