Default Re: Help with choosing a laptop
Without a doubt IBM thinkpads are the best laptops I've ever used. Quiet, loads of battery life and a track pad that's actually useable. Wondeful machines apart from the fact they cost an arm, two legs and a spleen.

The only reason not to go with a Dell is that you will never get any tech/customer support out of them. Ever. They even closed their custom support forum a few weeks ago. If you don't think you'll wany any customer service from them, (and if you think you wont get a dodgy machine out of them) then go for it.
