Dell has had more than it's fair share of trouble with shoddy parts and such, but I wouldn't tell someone NOT to buy them just because my opinion is just that: an opinion.
Do research before-hand, that's my suggestion. Find out the CURRENT track record for any manufacturer you are looking at purchasing from.
Those are Latitudes, not the generic Inspirons everyone is accustomed to.
If everyone bought Latitudes, they'd have much higher opinion of Dell. Then again, most people are cheap and don't want to spring the extra money.Main Surround -

Thats true."Dr Dunn admitted that his research could also be interpreted as evidence that women are shallower than men. He said: "Let's face it - there's evidence to support it."

That's a great deal, but I am still undecided. I have spent way too much time on the net comparing laptops. It gets very tiring.Pio Elete Pro 520

Thanks for the help guys.
What we are doing is I'm going to give him the cash and they he said he was going to put a little towards what I gave and get himself a Mac and he really wanted one and then just wait on the Autocad stuff for a bit.
Thanks for the info though as it helps for me knowing what is out there.
