for a good price.

Good, but their customer service leaves a lot to be desired
these days if something goes wrong. #Also you need to have
it loaded with as fast a precessor and as much ram as
possible.

I heard a story from aguy who used to work for dell cust
support, apparently a woman was having probs with her
scanner. He was saying, what does it look like... she said
well its black, has dell logo on it, etc. And won't scan.
After a while or troubleshooting she was actually talking
about her monitr and holding pages up to it.

Its funnier when he says it.

so long as it has a pentium m chip in it should be ok.
Personally I'd go a thinkpad as they are black and look
better with similar specks.

i've had two centrino dell's the last year. i spilled beer
in one, short-circuiting the whole shit including my echo
indigo soundcard :(, and the other got stolen. now i have a
noname laptop. it's ok, but it makes much more noice then
the dells. the dell machines are pretty good imo. i've heard
there are few problems with dell laptops. i've also heard
that the dell machines are put together by the cheapest crap
on the marked. oh, hooters on tv. snoop and 50cent :0

Asus laptps are sweet. I got a Z71V and I'm loving it. Great
for music. I still need to get a firewire or usb sound
interface for recording but the builtin sound is not bad at
all and runs at low latency with the ASIO4ALL driver.

Dell laptops I wouldn't touch with Tridenti's dick. They
suck bad.
