Anyone Else having horrible issues with the Dell 435T or 435MT?

Question

My nightmare started in January.  I started out with a 435 MT.   Crashed multiple times, had motherboard, drives all replaced.  Dell exchanged this model for a 435T model and now it's having drive errors and here I am again..without a computer (I am typing on my non-Dell laptop now) to work with.  This is so frustrating.  I can say this, I'll never buy a Dell again.

Wow - Lucky you.  I've had nothing but problems.  They've been kind enough to replace the entire system once, and I still have issues.  I'm glad you Dell's are working well.  I had a similar 'good story' years ago with my first laptop from Dell.  It seems this system is crashing continuously.  I've put countless phone hours, rebuild hours, reinstall hours into this system, and now am waiting for a replacement drive again (this will be the 7th drive I've seen come though my home in the last 4 months, 3rd motherboard, 3rd keyboard....I sure hope this gets fixed soon.  I understand 3rd party suppliers - most Dell equipment is OEM-based.  Sadly, it's the Dell brand that suffers with recurring issues and no resolve (to date)...cross fingers that I can reply to this one day soon with a happy story like yours.

Nope.  Mine has been working fantastic since I got it last week.  My XPS 720 has been working fantastic since 2006 and the Latitude D630 I'm typing on has been bulletproof for almost two years.  If your drive is bad, that's hardly Dell's fault.  Those are made by a third party supplier, and not Dell.
