you may want to check out the xps studio line....they have a 16 in available. the main problem i have with the xps in a work environment is that there is not docking station available for it...not sure if that is an issue for you.

The construction is by far better than previous models.

It’s a very nice machine, although I don’t know that I would recommend it for a business environment. I really like the newer E series Latitudes for a business laptop.

I would stick with Lattitudes or Precisions, XPS are more consumer oriented, though higher end then Inspiron's. I have to ask, why no external monitor? Space issues? IF the 17" is a requirement, I think you're looking exclusively at the Precisions, then.

The unit must be Dell, and she has a spending limit of about $2,500. She's not at her desk all day and several days a week she works from home from her home PC. The work laptop does not need to be light since it probably won't be moved much, but a 17" screen would be nice, since there will not be an external monitor. All of the laptop's I purchase here at work are the Lenovo/IBM ThinkPad line, which I like very much. I don't have much experience with Dell laptops though. Anyone have any recommendations for a particular line? She's limited to the Latitudes, Precisions, and XPS units (Higher Education).
