Reliability Claims – Inspiron 3000 Series Blue Text = Placeholder

Designed for the real world — because that's where life happens.
We want you to love your new PC for years to come. That's why we test Inspiron laptops for reliability not just
in the places where you expect it, but for the open road ahead.
1. Turn up the heat: From locker rooms to locked cars, we test Inspiron laptops for survival in harsh short-
term heat conditions of up to 65°C / 149°F.
2. Everything hinges on it: We test Inspiron laptop hinges to ensure they still feel tight, even after opening
and closing the lid 20,000 times.
3. Keys to success: We test commonly-used keys for 10 million keystrokes and touch pad buttons 1 million
times with no failure. So go ahead, finish your novel.
4. Buttoned up: No matter what you set your power and multimedia buttons to do, we've tested them to
survive up to 40,000 pushes with no problems.
5. Twist and turn: Call us excessive, but after twisting an Inspiron laptop's base and lid more than 25,000
times, we can assure you the parts inside are well-protected.
6. Always a good fit: You'll probably never need to remove and reinstall your Inspiron's battery 750 times, but
you can rest easy knowing that we've tested even that.
