Will do.
Dell are currently un-impressing with their sales team. A "Senior

Hi,
Whenever you find what you like, let us know. When looking for a
13" laptop last fall things sucked... if you wanted Linux.
I ended up with a Sony Vaio VPC SB2 series, with problems. Why:

Optimus is great... if you run Windows.
