Dell Business for individuals?

Hi,
I'm looking for a fairly portable notebook for my mum to take to work. She'd like a Dell as we've had them before, 13-14" with a spec good enough for Internet/Office2007/the odd DVD.

For the size and price we are looking for the Latitude E6400 seems well specced and priced. My question is, can she order as an individual through the Dell Business site (small business)? She's a university lecturer and will be using it for work, not sure if that counts. I've been told you just put your name in again as the business name, but are Dell ok with that?

Also does anyone have a Latitude E6400 already, and if so what do you think of it?

Thanks for any help

Edit: changed the question a bit, but the main title stayed the same

I've got an xps m1330 and it handles all the above you mentioned with ease. Its a superb notebook for the price, i'd highly recommend it

I have been looking into getting an XPS 1330 for quite a while now but keep putting it off due ever decreasing prices and increasing specs. It would seem the best value high performance laptop available however I was told it is being replaced soon so may hold back for that. My advice is to look at the XPS and going through thd business section will be no problem.

I know what your saying it is a hard choice, but to be honest with you, the rumours of a new product notebook range came out months ago and there is still nothing out yet. I'm sure there will be soon but i think it could be a while yet, nobody knows. Unless i'm wrong...
Like any computer tech there is always something better, faster, newer around there corner, I'm sure you don't need me to tell you that.
As you said the xps m1330 is one of the best spec'd laptops for its price, so your the winner here. As i said my laptop is superb its fast, plays games fine, well apart from crysis but most newish games run ok on a medium/low setting. It excel in everything else.

Thanks for the help guys. I think we'll order either the M1330 or E6400 this week and not bother waiting. As you say, the current machines are more than good enough anyways.

Cheers
