A number of Dell users have complained that their Latitude 6430u Ultrabooks "smell of cat urine".

Dell engineers have ruled out biological contamination, and said the smell was not a health hazard.

Works for me...

When my cat pees, it smells just like fresh-baked bread.

Except for Sundays, when it is more like bacon and biscuits.

Saw this when it was news months ago. It amazes me that Dell has been so slow to respond with a fix given how public and in-your-face the customers have been over the past several months.
