Mind you, this is a Latitude, not an Inspiron which
seems to have a
bad reputation.
maybe, but my Inspiron 8200 now works flawlessly for almost 5 years.
I've seen other I8ks with hardware trouble, but this was no prob thanks
to the Dell on-site service. And its 1400x1050 pixel display offered
much more value as I bought it than the 1024x768 of the competitors.
I agree, though, that I wouldn't buy one without at least 3 years
hardware service.
Cheers,
