I own a Dell Inspiron 8200 with those nice screen specs. The only objections I find are: - Don't choose models with nvidia cards... ATI is being more free-software friendly and there are some benefits from this. NVidia works fine with their propietary driver but it doesn't support power management yet, and future support is not based in community work... Will they continue supporting Linux? And old cards? - As far as I know, BIOS ACPI tables from Dell seem to be quite obscure, so ACPI support is a bit difficult at the moment. APM works fine (except with nvidia cards). There's some more information at acpi.sourceforge.net about it.
Even so... I'm really happy with it. -- Rafael Villar Burke
