Not even the Dell Dude could help convince us to buy a laptop that smells of cat urine. Per Engadget, it seems that Dell this week finally responded to some months-old complaints about certain Latitude E6430u laptop models that users complained smelled like cat urine. Dell apologized for the laptops’ aromas but insisted that their stench was caused by “a manufacturing process that has now been changed,” and “is not in any way related to biological contamination.” To further comfort users, the PC maker said that it extensively tested out the laptops to make sure that they weren’t contaminated with urine or other biological wastes at any point during the manufacturing and shipping processes.
