You obviously have better experience than I do.  My Inspiron 6000 was
apparently used: it arrived without the usual plastic coating on the
lid, with scratches which couldn't have come from transport instead.
Also the ejector for the PC Card fell apart shortly after I got it.
It took them over 3 weeks to get a replacement lid to me, by which
time I had left for Europe.  By the time I get home I will have had
the machine for 6 weeks, too long to return it, and only then will I
be able to fight the Dell service department about the ejector.  Only
some time after then will they be able to replace the lid.
