We buy ALOT of dell laptops, and the general consensus among the people who have them is that they suck. We have had alot of random problems with hardware failures that required us to send them back to Dell. The sony's we have seem to work quite well, but if you drop them once they're done for, and linux support for them isn't that great depending on what model you have. Personally, I'd go with the HP Omnibook 500, I've never used or seen a nicer laptop. Check out the HP before you buy anything, you'll fall in love with it. Make sure it's the Omnibook 500 though, the other Omnibooks are kinda big and "brickish". > -----Original Message----- > From: Brandon Freels [mailto:brandon at rhinoventures.com] > Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2001 6:04 PM > To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org > Subject: [TCLUG] Re: Laptop > > > > When I time comes that I have money again (ha ha ha) I am planning to > purchase > a Dell Inspirion model.
