    I'm not even considering mac books, I'm just not keen on them, for one it would annoy me not having a right click

    No right-click is the only reason I wouldn't get one I think - otherwise they really are worth considering (and this is coming from a long-time PC user! )

    Do you know if your replaced MBs were refurbs? If parts of them are already used before you even get them, that might explain it. If it happens again, it might be worth arguing with Dell to send a new part...?
