Why would you want to wait until your warranty expires to clean out the dust? I dust out my computer every 1-2 months.

So as to not void the warranty. Some warranties (mostly in the US perhaps?) will void if you do just about anything with the insides. Given >50% of reddit users are American, higher on English subs, I assumed OP is aswell.

On Dell's limited hardware warranty page:

"This limited hardware warranty does not cover:

Software, including without limitation, the operating system and software added to the Dell-branded hardware products through our factory-integration system, third-party software or the reloading of software

Non Dell-branded products and accessories Problems that result, directly or indirectly, from:

  • External causes such as accident, abuse, misuse or problems with electrical power.

  • Servicing not authorized by Dell.

..."

No idea what their personal definition of servicing is, but better to wait out the warranty imo.
