Did you recently buy a new Dell laptop and find it smells strange? If so, you're not alone. A post on Dell's support forum, which is constantly updated with new complaints from Dell 6430u owners , reports that their laptops have a strange smell, reminiscent of cat urine. (Yes, we're not kidding!)
The post is currently over six pages long and contains complaints from customers who say that after purchasing a Dell 6430u, an unbearable smell began to emanate from the machine. Many report that it was as if a cat had walked by and “sprayed” their laptop, as reported by TNW.
Dell has acknowledged the problem, but says it “does not cause any health problems” and that it did not come from a cat roaming the factory. The company promised to fix this issue soon, but did not explain how it will do so…
