I need something more up to date. I was looking on some of the Dell
forums and a lot of horror stories lately, both about th equality of
the products and customer service.
I had only one problem with my battery pack 2 months after I bought it
and they sent me a new one, but this was 4 years ago :)
I will look at IBM too. I had once a desktop IBM. It was good but too
much proprietary stuff, at least than.
I was king of looking to buy the Toshiba S1-QW6 Centrino 1.7GHz
Notebook, because comes with Windows XP professional, 512 MB (one
stick) RAM and 60GB (5400rpm, almost all others have the 4200 type)
HD.
It's not easy
/regards

I used to be a huge supported of Dell laptops, they have received
about 35 purchases based on my recomendations to clients and friends.
However in the last year I have switched my support to ibm and the
think pad. Much better laptops. better built in features and more
rugged than the dells. The seem to hold up better even those they are
lighter and sleeker than their dell counterparts.
Good Luck with the new laptop!

I have the Dell Inspiron 1100 and have been very happy with it. The
only suggestion that I would make is to get as much RAM in the
notebook as possible. I would go with either 768 or 1024Megs of RAM.
Anything less is not sufficient for running the above apps.
