Need a Laptop - Dell anygood??

He ain't kidding. I know two people who got Dell Inspiron's at the beginning of their first year of university, and by the end of it they both had problems.
On the other hand, I have an old Dell Latitude D600 lying around somewhere which - after much looking after - still works just fine (last I checked).
Ive said this in other threads, but ive never had any problems with Dell Laptops in numerous cases. We have had hundreds if not thousands go through our Dept in work (Latitudes) and rarely see a problem, and if there is a problem its more down to people just being stupid and breaking them by not being careful.
Also have 2 Inspiron's at home both a few years old now and both run and look like new. As long as you don't drop and throw them about they work a treat.
I would imagine these young people
in Uni must be treating them like crap to be wrecked in a year.

For instance, most if not all home users sit with their laptop on a bed, cushion or on their knee which is a major no no when it comes to a laptop however most business laptops will spend most of their time sat on a desk.
