If you don't have to have a laptop, you can get a better deal on a desktop.

I am very pleased with Dell and my laptop.

I have had one Compaq that was junk.
One HP that was OK.
One Sony that was great until one hinge broke.
Both Dells I still have and both are wonderful units. The one I use now is VERY fast and has a huge hard drive.

BUT I'd get a Mac for $999. It would just about blow away my 3 yr old Mac desktop, is easy to navigate, you are not locked into Micro****, is faster than both my other two Mac's (laptops), is cheaper than ever due to Mac developing better stuff and selling more laptops (Their sales for laps. is over 50% of total, I believe).

With my IT class-load, I'm probably going to break down and buy on sooner or later.

my 2 cents worth
If you must burn our flag, please wrap yourself in it first.
Taxation WITH representation isn't so hot either!
ATF is correct with regard to the information about Michael Dell and Dell computers. He is definitely Anti-Guns, no doubts about it. A percentage of every purchase that you make goes towards killing off the sports, hobbies and employment that we all love and enjoy. He has great market prices but think about the end result. Put a few more dollars with his price and support those that support us and the Bill of Rights.
Dell has moved all of their customer service and assembly of their products to foreign countries. Customer service/aasembly is now handled by operations in India and the Philippines. Customer service with people who use English, poorly, as a second language is no fun, especially when it involves technology. In addition to that, it cost Americans several hundred jobs... and let's not think about the tax revenue that's lost.
The IT department of our Community College is continually having fits because it is mandated that they supply and service Dell computers for all of the campuses. These people work with computers as a profession and they will state without reserve that Dell stinks! These are professionals, not just a bunch of kids or computer wannabes thrown into IT.
Lastly, consider that there is a new processor chip coming on line shortly that will precipitate a dump on the computer market. Prices will tumble. Better buys will be available from good companies not just Dell.
Best.

I do have a Dell laptop that has something wrong with it? Its not simple problem either because I am a IT Engineer and can't figure this problem out. I think its a flacky motherboard going. I have had 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP, Linux and now trying Gentoo just to get it to work.
If I can't get it this time its gonna to the rifle range.
Why laptop companies are Pro-Gun, Pro-Hunting anyone know?

ATF - For the time and trouble this machine has caused I should shoot it anyway, plus now I find out Dell is anti-gun that would just be more pudding to have it destroyed. It needs to be put down like a rabid dog! [:D] [:D]
Who the hell resorts to using Gentoo OS anyway?
