We use 17" Fujitsu Celsius i7 with 8 Gig of RAM and SSDs at work, far better than any Dell I've ever used. In my experience Dells tend to overheat.
It's an intereresting, if a bit off-topic, observation, that while I strolled the main mall here in Chiang Mai in northern Thailand, looking into store after store stuffed with iPods, iPads, all the netbooks and notebook from Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Toshiba, Sony ... The priciest notebooks were the Toshibas (compared to other manufacture's similar notebooks with matching specs: same screen size and resolution, same processor running about the same speed, same amount of ram, etc., etc.) But, I found out the Toshiba notebooks all have a one-year warranty only, while some of the other vendors' netbooks, have three year warranties. Made me wonder why Toshiba can up-sell like that with a short warranty. Now Sony, I think, is a brand that has its own special following, just as the Cult of Mac has its masses of mentally brainwashed, who will pay through the nose for its excellent design and engineering, rendered aesthetically. I'll stick to building my own, thanks :) best, Bill
