So your justification for Dell voiding warranty upon putting the laptop in the bag on standby is that reads notes Apple...does not void the warranty, and that it is somehow virtuous to explicitly void warranty instead of honouring warranty? Sorry, but your logic is completely insane.

I'm not justifying Dell here, I'm just replying to the comment that you can somehow avoid these issues with Apple.

I have had experience with my last personally owned Apple products fighting them to honour the warranty. Maybe they're better in the US, but it's not evident to me that that's something you can rely on: https://www.macworld.co.uk/news/apple-admits-faulty-macbook-...

I agree with the idea that Dell should still be made honour the warranty, via court proceedings if they hold out too long, just as has occasionally been needed of Apple in the past.
