Just catching up on UT messages.
I've been using a Dell Inspiron 8000 256mg for the last 9 months as my primary development machine and I love it. The native screen resolution of 1400x1050 is great for the VFP IDE. Battery life not what it was on my old Inspiron 7000 but I may just have a bad battery.
It's heavy, but you can hot-swap cd rw, zip drive, dvd etc and the touchpad and pointy stick are both very useable.
Altogether very pleased.
>We are interested in purchasing a few new notebooks and have been looking real close at Dell's Inspiron 8100 notebook with Windows XP. Do any UT users have any comments about this machine or other recommendations on laptops?
>
>We will use them for building large exe's and for normal day to day programing needs along with some photo needs.

>Any comments conerning resolution, video, overheating, size, speed, or any other thoughts would be great.

>Thanks in advance!

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
