Hi all, Just recently, switched from ThinkPad R50e to Dell Inspiron 6400, for reason other then technicals. I enjoyed using my former one but even more the new one. The thing about the Inspiron 6400 is that it comes in many hardware configurations. Starting from CPU, hard disk, memory, graphical board etc... it even has the no OS option!!! I've installed "Ubuntu Feisty Fawn" (AKA kubuntu), and added any other feature I desired which went smoothly as can possibly be. My Laptop came with "Vista" which I was able to reduce it's partition size with no problems. Dell provide 3 years world wide warranty which fortunately I have no experience with. If there's a specific application or a test you wish that I'll conduct for you pleas let me know and I'd be more then happy to provide the information.
