Hi Vin,

Just got a Dell Inspiron 7500 last week. No problems so far. It seems to be a great machine. I went with the rage 8meg graphics just to get the high res and color, I do a little photoshop work. I wanted the higher resolution and color. I'm currently using the notebook's screen but may get a 19 or 21 inch monitor for the desk.

I'm using much like you, a desktop replacement that can travel.

>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?

>(BTW, basically, I'll be going with a P3 600 or 650, 128 mg RAM, 12 or 18 gig hd -- I guess you could say that this will be a desktop replacement with a moderate amount of travel [i.e., I don't need a super-slim model]).
