Of course you must be careful with the hardware, but for me there is another important feature that I take care every time I buy a laptop: keyboard. Today, there is a annoying tendency to put unuseful keyboards on laptops. Inspirons 8200 are great, but they weigh so much. If you are going to use it at your work maybe you don't mind that the laptop weigh four-five kg.
