never ever ever ever buy a dell laptop... look up the lundell settlement and you will see y. go back read my post about dell... after paying 2000 dollars and probably over 1000 dollars for parts and tech support im left with a 3000dollar paper weight to hell with dell.

edit... if you do get a dell get the desktop so you can fix shit when it breaks lol

I'd actually recommend a step back a lil... I've seen some fully loaded IBM/ Lenova laptops with XP Pro going for far less than what you're looking to spend.

Best Buy is going to have at least 20 laptops with a bundled printer for $230 Friday.

Want to go camp out with me Mike Thursday night?
