My Dell laptop is my main computer and I am quite happy it
Intel Chip T2050 @ 1.6GHz – 14 inch screen
Portable and cheap and does the job.
Runs XP with 2 gig of Ram in there. Not sure why Dell puts 1/2 the Ram under the freaking keyboard. Yeah, that was fun to upgrade.
I have had it for 1 1/2 and wiped the OS and rebuilt it once, I’ll probably just do it every winter. Getting all the drivers was a hassle, with all the possible drivers on the Dell site and crap for documention about what comes with a 640m. Add on top of that I got the n-draft wireless card and built in bluetooth (which I don’t really use as much as I thought I would).
4 USB ports is ok. I couldn’t survive with less. The N-draft cart rocks. I have a N-draft router at home and we have one at work.
Kinda annoying they didn’t label the audio out and line in on the side better. I really apreciate the pink and green that some computers have now.
