Yes, my laptop is one of those that has some useless switchable back covers behind the screen. I've never bought any covers and don't plan to because I simply don't care. I use the stock one that came with the laptop. The factory box describes my back cover colour as "Diamond Black". (Doesn't look as good as it sounds, to be honest, but still a good laptop overall.)

Also used occasionally as a background music machine for my job live-streaming commercial-free Icecast / Shoutcast radio streams.

July 11th, 2014 - I took a 512 MB RAM stick out on the Dell Dimension because it had failed. It had a rather serious problem where that particular RAM stick prevented ANY and ALL Linux Distros from installing or in some cases, even booting, on it, every single time [Kernel Panics]. Even Windows 7 and 8 would fail right in the middle of the installation process (Blue Screen Of Death) every single time. Who knew a RAM stick could cause so much trouble.
I don't know how find this post but I want to ask that can I buy this laptop for the current period. Because I will use it to run the document based work. Will it be worthy for me?
