i would recommend the Dell Latitude c610 if you are getting a new laptop:<br><br>14.1" SVGA+ screen (1400x1050)<br>up to 1GB of RAM<br>133mhz FSB<br>up to 1.2Ghz P3<br>up to 48GB Storage<br>Combined CDRW(8x)/DVD(8x)<br>Integrated 802.11b<br>Integrated 10/100 ethernet or Modem<br>Small form factor (1.4" high, 5pounds weight)<br>16mb ATI Radeon video card<br><br>yeah, that would cost you probably about $3000US... not bad for what it offers... I find the inspiron desktop replacements heavy and big, but then again they have 32mb nvidia geforce go and firewire
