See my sig. Approaching 3 years old and still going strong, thanks to a RAM upgrade (I only bought it with 64MB of RAM, since Dell charges an ABSURD amount to upgrade it when you order) and hard drive upgrade. Unfortunately this specific model of IBM travelstar HDD seems to have some issues, I've already RMAed one because it developed bad sectors and started making scary noises, and now I have to do it again because the replacment drive is having problems too!
Oh well, at least the drive has a 3 year warranty, and this time they're replacing it with a 40GB model. :)
i just bought an alienware area 51-m. I work at best buy so i got a real good deal on that + 3 year service plan.
Ancient Dell Latitude
Pentium I 166MMX
72MB RAM
2.1GB HDD
12.1" Active Screen
10Mb PCMCIA LAN card
56k PCMCIA Modem card
got a couple of dead pixels but runs fine.
Looking to dump it off for $150 if anyone would want it....
compaq LTE5150
133mhz
32mb ram
800meg harddrive
but now i am using my dads laptop:
ibm thinkpad a30p
mobile pentium 3 1200mhz
128mb ram
30gig harddrive
combo dvd/cdburner
win2000
Fujitsu C series 6611
PIII 900mhz /128 PC100 (i think - slow kind)
4 USB1.1, 1 IEEE 1394, optical out, dvdrom, floppy, infrared, serial, damn multimedia controls on the front that are useless unless I run win98.
use it for simple stuff like divx and travel companion. modem/lan integrated also.
my gf has ibook 800mhz and it works great :)
I have a Dell Inspiron 4100 with a P3 1GHz Mobile processor and 256MB RAM. It is light, portable, and gets 8.5 hours of battery life on two batteries. Dell has great service and support.

I owned a Sony before and it died right after the 1-year warranty and repair cost as much as a new one. Now I have a Asus D1 Desknote, and if this ever failed, I know I can still pull out the cpu/ram/hardisk for something else.
