My dell warranty has expired back in January, but after searching around the web i believe that it is possible that the hard drive is still under manufactures warranty. i have done an online check with seagate but its has asked me to go back to to dell as it is an oem purchased drive.

I purchased an xps 15z last year and, while it has great performance, it has a terrible trackpad with very poor drivers. I am purchasing windows 8, and have been running the release preview for some time now.

I have a Inspiron 1501 laptop on which I currently run Visa 32 bit. I'm wanting to upgrade to 64 bit Window's 7 when it comes out. The processor can handle 64 bit as its a AMD 64 X2. I do however wish to upgrade my memory.
