No worries, going off to college soon and I'm mainly worried about people spilling drinks on it at parties in the dorm. Just want some peace of mind.

I was just looking at the contract, and it says (for notebooks): "Only the central processing unit, internal keyboard, internal hard drives, and the computer’s built-in LCD are covered." Does that mean if something...

On my M170 I've noticed Dell has put it's own separate 86.3MB partition on the hard drive with some files on it. What is this, and is it OK to delete it? Also, there are 8 unallocated MB on my hard drive. Is it safe to use...
