>Hey folks. I am shopping for a new laptop and asking various parties for some advice/opinions. Given my work in VFP, VB, and SQL Server, I need a fairly good machine, but I am not much of a games/graphics guy so I am not so concerned about 8 mg video RAM, etc. In fact, I have pretty much decided to go with one of the DELL lines -- Inspiron 3800, Inspiron 5000, or Latitude CP series. Anyone out there have any strong opinions worth sharing on any of these?

I really think that a laptop that sees any travel time should be a Latitude instead of an Inspiron. I have owned both, but my current machine is a Latitude PIII 600 w/256 MB and 18GB HD, and I couldn't be happier with it, and I give it some serious abuse.
