We use Dells at work, the Latitude D630 and i have to say they a great piece of kit. Even the older D600 are still good for what they are if i was looking for a new laptop i would go dell.

Just phone up before the year and tell them it's failing and get a new one. 
 
Batteries are hit and miss though.

It was just outside a year, thus out of warranty. 
 
Few folk ive spoken to have had the same happen with the Dells.

Aye if you got another one just phone up within a year and get it replaced anyway. 
 
I've got 3 here from a couple of years old down to under a year and they're all working fine.
