Mind you, the M90 is, or rather was Dells highend business workstation laptop. What Dell isn't telling their clients is that the M90 has such a high failure rate, and that beause of this they brought out a new laptop, the M4300, which is the replacement for the M90.
A company that I do side jobs for recently had to upgrade all their M60s due to the lease being up on them (which I bought off them for.. <cough> $200 each!! WOOOT!!). Dell pushed, and pushed, and pushed them to buy the more expensive M90, but I pushed, and pushed, and pushed them not to. These guys have a sister company in the States, and everyone in their AV department got one of the M90s, including the boss, and every single one of them has complained about the units. Overheating, random lockups not related to overheating, bad hard drives (what I like to call the 'creeping bad sector syndrome), dead batteries... you name it. Instead of getting the M90 I pushed these guys to get the reworked M65 (which is essentially a faster version of the M60 (it's 1/2 the wieght, battery lasts longer, better screen, faster CPU, and so fourth). They've been running these laptops now for a good 6 months, and not one of them has failed.
Suffice it to say I got a nice $$ bonus for swaying them the other way (and the guys in the US replaces half of their M90s with the M65 ta boot).
