DELL Laptops - great design?

My laptop crashed a week back taking most of my data with it. Also the eject button of the PCMCIA card reader came out. I could still push the card and get it out, but the IT staff wanted to get it fixed. My initial thought was, the engineer from DELL would just remove the entire slot out and try to put the eject switch back into it, or replace the reader. Guess what he did? He replaced the mother board 'coz the reader comes as part of the motherboard (soldered to it) and not as a separate removable entity. Nice design, what say?

At least I (almost) got a brand new laptop ;)
