Dell users: Latitude 6430u laptops 'smell of cat urine'

A number of Dell users have complained that their Latitude 6430u Ultrabooks "smell of cat urine".

Dell engineers have ruled out biological contamination, and said the smell was not a health hazard.

The problem lay in the manufacturing process, which has now been changed, the company said.

Users affected by the issue should send their laptop back for replacement parts.

So, are they going to rename Dell to Smell?

Is it a cat astrophe?

   Mrs Clive's Dell is much better made than my Asus.  The Dell is solid with a beautiful keyboard but the Asus is cheap and nasty.

Presumably Dell will have a claws clause in their terms and conditions that you can't claim under warranty 

Although I bought a new Samsung laptop a year or so ago I still prefer to use my old Dell Inspiron I bought circa 2006. Although the Samsung boots up quicker the Dell has a better display and keyboard. Also I've accumulated a lot of software on the Dell that I can't be bothered to move to the Samsung.

Well add that to my previous experience of buying a desktop from them then I think that's Dell off my notebook list.

Looking like HP, Lenovo or perhaps Scan.
