notebook reviews

[vinc3nzo]

Hey all, I'm currently purchasing a notebook for a client who travels alot and is a writer. I'm trying to find a good review place.

She's got about a $2100 dollar budget, likes Dells, and needs it to be light.

Any suggestions or locations of good unbiased reviews?

I would suggest a Dell 600m for the following reasons:
-Dell support is pretty good
-You can put 2 batteries in it so you can have a LOT of battery time and truly be mobile(you have to take the optical drive out to do this)
-It is pretty light, around 5lbs.
-It comes with plenty of power and a decent video card
-Pentium-M processors ROCK!!!
-Widescreen laptops are overrated
-It has 2 very good screen options, XGA and SXGA.
-You won't need to spend $2100 on one to get a decent one, I paid $1350 shipped for mine over a year ago and it still keeps up. You can take the money you saved and buy something else.
