If you own a pet, you know what the urine smells like. Apparently, so do Dell Lattitude 6430u users. They started complaining the smell on the messageboards. Turned out, Dell confirmed the smell is real (but not really urine).
“The smell is not related to cat urine or any other type of biological contaminant, nor is it a health hazard,” the BBC reported that Dell support technician SteveB said online. Further, a Reddit post explains more
The palm rest is the origin of the smell. It was suggested the polymer in the plastic emitted a smell similar to cat urine.
Dell has implemented a replacement program for those 6430u users.
Others on Reddit joke about hanging their cat over their old laptop to get that “New laptop smell”.
