That's not bad! And really, Dell laptops are OK. My firm uses them quite a bit. The main problems I have seen with them is kind of minor stuff like keyboard keys poping off and stuff. Other than that they seem to be pretty solid.

I would just make sure you go P-M for the CPU. Those laptops with P4's can run really hot and the fan will be kicking in and loud a lot. And the battery life is a lot longer with the P-M.
