I purchased an Alienware 51m about a year ago and was wondering if there were others out there with the same issues. The latch that keeps the case closed broke off because it is cheap plastic unlike others that are metal. The floppy drive has a hard time ejecting the disks, the ctrl keys do not work unless I plug in an external keyboard, and the keys are starting to break off. I do not abuse the laptop, this is all just from normal wear and tear. As soon as I get my desktop up and running I will finally send it in to get fixed, all under warranty. Going to school online so need at least one up and running.
