The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    They only hold parts that they need for the next 2 hours manufacturing - their suppliers run their own facilities on site and Dell orders from them every 2 hours. Only when they cross into the Manufacturing plant do they become Dells responsibility. That way its the suppliers that are concerned with stocking their own facilities on site.
