yeah, funny thing though, when it was time to upgrade 2 yrs ago I went with the laptop, and now I just want to keep the simplicity of a laptop, just annoys me no one makes a laptop yet that, like the 9100, was designed to have at least 1...

I have a couple of questions: 1) wondering if Dell still designs their laptops, the XPS line at least, in the manner they did the original XPS. Specifically, Dell seemed at the time to design their laptops in such a manner that the user...

I'm looking at this refurbed HP 9830 with a core 2 duo 1.83 (T5550), 4gb ram, 320gbhd, blu-ray, 8600M GS, HDTV tuner, 17" display(1440x900), under $800 http://www.compudirect.com/cgi-bin/s...DNH12_06-2187& or a new HP...

I have a 9100 from 2004 and I'm curious about what to expect when I call Dell about it. I stopped using it and let me kids play with it, and well, they killed it. I have 40 days left on my 3yr warranty with CC, and since I don't use it...

so, if I have a 9100 WUXGA mr9800 etc., and it were to get broken in the next 9 months, what would Dell likely replace it with? would a 1505 or 1705 be likely or would they actually try to fix this brick haha if it accidentally fell...

fathergoose, I think also, you are missing one of the reasons for WS displays. the idea is to have more realestate for more things to be viewable without being covered up. In many, probably most cases, the idea would be for the higher...

hi peter. how to put this? are you a gambling man? If the laptop will sit on a desk and never move, then the likelyhood of it breaking do to your own actions is low. If you plan to carry it around to work/class all the time, well...
