    I thought the charges the company are taking to help affected customers are interesting, as I didn't think nVidia had publicly acknowledged the problem with their notebook GPUs and the only companies who seem to be addressing the problem are Dell and Apple. When Dell replaces the defective nVidia GPU, and the motherboard if GPU is integrated, under its extended warranty, does nVidia compensate Dell for some of the costs, such as the cost of the nVidia GPU?
