-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dell - ugh.
2 of the guys here have to take theirs apart and reseat cables regularly, a friend of mine and I both had lemons (his actually fell to pieces in his hands when he ejected his CD-ROM) they wouldn't replace either of them. I sent 5 letters to them, and Greg filed a complaint with the BBB, I got no response. I finally contacted the dell folks listed on the BBB page and told them off and got 2 replacement laptops, Greg's was fine. Mine had a display anomoly right out of the box, so I opted for the refund they offered, which took them forever to get to me. They tried to bill me for the one I sent back, they said I didn't send it back but their webpage form said they had it for weeks. Finally after a long time I got my refund money. I'll never do business with that company again. However if you do go with Dell everything worked for me on the 8000, the 8100/8200's used nvidia graphics and 3com winmodems, so the modem and suspend didn't work. I got a sony GRX-570 with the 16.1" display, it totally rocks and I haven't had a single problem with it, took some patching the kernel for ACPI and memstick reader but everything works great - no suspend here either though with the ACPI - yet.
