they're not really crappy...the cosmetics just don't appeal to everyone. They won't do anything to sell their notebooks...


they'll do anything in attempt to justify overpaying for their notebooks!

What does one spindle mean? Or two spindles? What advantages does it offer?

a "Spindle" just means a spinning bay for a storage drive. In the case of most full size laptops, there are 2 or 3 spindles, with one always accompanying the Hard Drive, the other usually an Optical Drive, and in some cases (becoming rarer) the Floppy Drive. It seems that most "Modern" full size laptops/notebooks are doing away with the floppy, so most are Two Spindles. The Dell 700m, is one of the few laptops with a 12" screen, and under 4.5 lbs that has two spindles, meaning that it can house a Hard Drive, AND an Optical drive at the same time. The IBM X series, as well as the older Dell "Ultra Portables" such as the 300m, ans x300 are all Single Spindles, and can only house a Hard Drive, with an Option to add an Optical Drive with the use of a USB port/Dock/PCMCIA connectivity. This is one of the main reasons I bought the 700m, for it's portability, great LCD, and the fact that I didn't have to lug around a seperate optical drive to watch DVD's.

Some guy sat next to me in a plane, and had an IBM X30. He busted out a seperate DVD-Rom drive and plugged it to his USB port to watch a DVD movie.

Two Button touchpad..........Yes, and ..............yes...............N/A...............
................................customizable with.................................................
..........................Alienblahbllah to be 3-buttons.......................................

wtf are they trying to say?

govtcheez -- thank your for your response. This thread must have made it to the doomed second page... where I didn't see it and your reply.

Wooster: they'd better not put one up for an 8600 comparison...

popophobia: it's like razors... Gilette came out with the Mach 3, and then Schick with the Quadro (or Quattro or whatever). What's it gonna be next... a pentaturbo? Few care about the touchpad buttons!

next thing you know, they will bring up the battery size problem of i8600 I meant the physical size
remember how the battery is a bit loose and you have to put tape to keep it quite? They may put it in the list too:
Battery problem:
i8600: squeaky
iBook: history of heating problem
Alienware: N/A

lmao
Dont know when we will have an Alienware user post here

8600 is squeaky? I think they mean the hinge is squeaky. What, it squeaks when I'm using it. everyone else sucks. Dell is awesome.
