I got the Dell Inspiron 17R in April 2014, with 8 gigs of RAM and a terabyte
harddrive. I just had to get the microphone replaced, but it wasn't nearly
the hassle I thought it would be. Overall, I've been very happy with the two
Dell laptops I've owned over the last seven years.

If you can afford it, go for the Dells that are geared toward the
business environment. the OS is professional grade, as are the
components inside these machines. The Latitude series is a good
place to start. And yes, you can permanently disable the
trackpad/touchpad. Recommend the 15.5-inch screen if you want a
numpad.--Matthew Chao
