If you're still looking, there's a LOT of machines that fit the bill. Look at LOOKS and ASCETICS of them, and come back with what you like about looks. MOST either have exact models to hunt for or ask for to get your specs (this is where...

Hey all. I've done a lot of work and research into this Dell HPA situation, for the last 3 years. Learned it inside and out. There are a few things to know. TOO Much to go into without an IN-DEPTH 3-4 page ARTICLE. Yes, it really is...
