Make it easier to get new batteries

630 points posted to Accessories (Keyboards, etc.) by paranoid Mar 20

Seriously, please make it easier to find/get new laptop batteries. This should be like buying printer toner.

Mar 21		 And not just Best Buy. If Best Buy should carry Dell batteries, then why not Staples?

Mar 21		 Is it really complicated to buy a Dell battery?
You can either phone them or buy it directly from the website...
They're are also quite a few on ebay...
Don't see the problem really...

Mar 21		 Dell makes it easy to buy from their web site, if you have an XPS M1210, just type "m1210" in the search bar.

Mar 21		 My sister needs a new battery for her laptop. Apparently they cost a bundle.

Mar 22		 Personally I think the whole e-commerce thing is a bit over rated. It's great for things you don't need right away. But I think companies like Dell should still sell in high street stores. If nothing else it gives them more visibility. You don't ever see the Dell web site unless you go there. And I don't pay attention to on-line adds. I hardly even notice them anymore.

Mar 22		 They frequently have ads in the newspapers here... (but I understand your point of view)

Mar 22		 Dell has adds in the papers here too. I never pay attention to them because the prices in print are never the same as to what is actually on offer. If you walk past a shop and see a Dell on display for £99. The shop has to sell it to you for £99. No monkeying around and no shenanigans. Just honest decent trade.
