Does anyone have any recommendations for me? In particular I want a working ACPI/suspend interface and this Dell has never been supported well - fans on all the time, doesn't resume properly, etc. My previous machine was a Sony Vaio which I loved, but was fairly expensive and the repair support wasn't very good. Dell's support was much better and I'd prefer a Dell I think, but I don't know whether more recent models fair better with power management support, etc. Any helpful hints would be gladly received.
