Dell Inspiron Warranties – Upgraded

According to CNET News.com, Dell is going to be upgrading the limited warranties on its Inspiron lineup (including the Inspiron 710M) from 90 days to one year.

This could be a sign that manufactuers are going to start increasing the length of their warranties, which is a reversal from earlier trends of shortening them.

No word on if this is going to be retroactive for those customers who just recently purchased Inspirons.
