Dell Inspiron 1501

Okay, I didn't mind my Dell laptop before. I mean, its a laptop, cool. Nothing fancy, kinda pretty. I was happy with my purchase..... Until now *cue evil music*
It has been less than a year, and my battery is dieing. -_-; before it lasted for an average of 2 hours and then BAM! WHOP! FWOOSH! my computer got its assed kicked. lol. In the space of one day and (no I'm not exagerrating) it has gone down to 1 hour. And its been about 2 weeks and turning down all the screen and doing the bare minimum will give me barely an hour of battery life. I looked up how much it would cost to buy another battery and there is no way in hell that I am buying a $129 battery for a $600 laptop (now $500 on dell.com!) So I'm thinking that I'm going to shop around for a better laptop. The macs look REALLY cute so I might look at that, or maybe an hp. Any suggestions? And I think I'm going to concentrate on how long the battery lasts now instead of the price! lol.

John here, customer advocate at Dell headquarters. My suggestion is to claim a new battery from me under warranty. Our batteries are covered for a year, and losing half of its charge capacity within 1 year is definitely in the "failure territory".
