Smell like cat urine?

[Satcomer]

At least your Mac Book Pro doesn't smell like this: Dell users: Latitude 6430u laptops 'smell of cat urine'.

I heard about this from a podcast called Amplified. I agree with them in saying if this was a Mac Book Pro in this situation the tech bogglers would be falling over themselves to condemn Apple.

I guess no one thought this was funny or agreed with my assessment.

It made the inside pages in the UK newspapers. But you're right, it would have been worse if it was Apple.

I think this applies to any leading brand in and area. I can't remember the details, but some years ago one of the European car makers changed their leather supplier and sent out cars with a bad smell. It was only really noticeable on opening a car that had stood in the sun. So it was missed at some point in the swap.

I saw something about it too a few days ago.
I think I have only ever seen (well, smelled) one Mac that smelled like cat pee, but then that one had spend too much time in the same room with an unfixed cat so it actually had some of that goo dried on it. (Poor Mac)
