Dell has an optional service package for laptops where you can call
them and they'll swap your broken laptop with a working one with you
within 48 hours.  This includes damage which would not normally be
covered by warranty, such as "I dumped coffee in it".  There is a
smallish charge for it, but if you live and die by your laptop it is
MORE than worth it.
