I hope you bought the extended warranty, too. [hee, hee]
My XPS M1330 laptop had to be serviced at least 3 times with
major parts replacements, e.g. graphics card, wall wart, CPU's
heatsink, etc. Fortunately, I had bought the extended warranty,
and all I lost was time. Dell paid for the parts and technician visits
and it lost the money on that one. Without an extended warranty,
you might as well just throw a $400 laptop away if it needs major
work and look for a more reliable PC. So... how much did the
15R cost with the extended warranty?

The 1st one (15R) had a touch pad problem a week before the one year
warranty expired and they took care of it. I don't believe in extended
warranties. And that was the only problem I ever had with 4 new Dells.
Friends that have bought Dells (on my recommendation) have not had
problems either. About 5 people at work for their home use.

Ditto on my XPS M1530...Which PCs are more reliable?

I don't believe in them, either - unless they're for business laptops. The time
saved by having experienced technicians and parts dispatched to my home
in 24 hrs made the extended warranty worthwhile even though, the laptop
wasn't generating income. For a desktop PC (which I feel confident
enough to work on myself) and for entertainment gear, extended warranties
are bad investments. I believe the XPS Mxxx line of laptops had a design
problem involving overheating, and I hope that it was unusual for Dell
laptops.

Some things I didn't expect, HDMI,SD card slot,eSATA port. And a
driver/utility CD. (No OS DVD as expected) It has a better lid design
now.
