--fdj2RfSjLxBAspz7 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable My Dell Inspiron 5000e is getting a bit long in the tooth, and the keyboard has just packed in :( so I'm in the market for a new laptop. 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.
