My nearly 6 year old XPS begs to differ.

I've seen quite a few various laptops with swollen batteries, and their users don't understand that can't habitually store their laptops in the sun (well, in sun rays through windows).

Those people also don't even realize their battery is swelling, and that it's a bad thing.

My XPS never sat in the sun and none of my thinkpads or MacBooks have ever had issues like this. Much less multiple issues back to back.

More importantly they can all accept 3rd party batteries.
