Greg, > I've decided it's time for a new laptop. In the past I've been > relatively happy with Dell, but their web site is driving me to > distraction (want info about Latitudes? Tell them you have a home > office and they'll give you Inspiron instead). Questions to you: I bought my Latitude 1.5 years ago, although it was offered in sections Small Business and higher. I just ordered it as a private person, did not have any problems. I think Dell is the option to consider. BTW, I dropped it twice, the only consequence was that after the first fall coolers fell asleep for a couple of days, but then returned to regular operation by themselves. I chose an Inspiron for my wife a year ago and found Dell website that time quite helpful. She dropped it several times since then, the worst one was when it slipped out from her backpack (the zipper spontaneously unfastened while she was walking), no consequences at all. One day the LCD on my Latitude decided that it is of 1600x1200 resolution (instead of 1400x1050 it used to be). It was replaced by Dell technician on the next day. I found the second media bay very useful when decided to add the second HDD. Best, Alex
