The group I work in has 8 Dell laptops right now down from 10 (layoffs). 4 of
the 10 are 8500s. We've had a few failures, right now my boss's machine needs a
logic board but I bet his has a million hours on it (serious workaholic). We
all travel alot so these machines have seen serious wear. On mine you can tell
exactly how I rest my thumb to use the spacebar.
I do think my 8500 feels cheap but I can't complain at all about it...

manager got us gold support which is good until November) and they're
shipping a new keyboard out.

You *do* get the occasional good one, but it's a crap shoot. The
Inspiron 8500 seems to have been one of their more durable ones -- I
know of one other example that held up well.

Kaleb, I can't believe you haven't formed your LLC yet. Your attorney
can do that in a matter of hours (in Kansas it is minutes). Get the LLC
formed as soon as possible. BY the way, this should not be construed as
legal advice. :-) My suggestions to you are worth exactly what you are
paying for them.=20
