I would recommend Dell greatly. I've had an Inspiron 8000 for a year and love it.
850 Mhz, 20MB HD, 2 USB ports, 2 fans, 2 batteries running concurrently, CD R/W, 15"TFT running at 1600x1200. Great!


>What's the specs for the Inspiron? I just upgraded my development machine to XP Pro and love it. I'm running a PIII 800mhz with 384mb. I'm considering upgrading my laptop, a Sony Viao, but it's a PII 366mhz with 192mb(max). I wonder if it's fast enough or will performance suffer greatly?
