I agree 100%. I also have a Dell Inspiron 7500 for my personal laptop and
I haven't had a moment's trouble. It beats the pants off the IBM Thinkpad
provided by work, stupid thing crashes if I open 3-4 applications at once.
I highly recommend Dell. Stay away from IBM.

Here is what we have learned.
1, Nobody likes Compaq
2, Everybody else is pretty good, just pick the one that fits the best with
what you are looking for.

loves it.
I will always recommend Dell to people. But that is just me.
