Gonna order 1400/1500, unless there are other brand/models which are better?

My friend thinks Dell are crap, is he true? Haven't heard anything bad about them recently.

Stupid question but do you HAVE to be a business to order the Vostro range?

Edit - My bad didn't know there was a laptop section

& funnily enough think he is going for a desktop solution now.
