I like the Dell machines as well. I have use an Inspiron 5000e and will be upgrading to an 8000 in the coming weeks. The machine itself is very nice, powerful enough for programming etc. Especially with the large screen as mentioned before.
My big gripe about them has to be the after sales support. We have one 5000 in the office that has had 4 HDD so far. And the 4th is dead already (been used for 1 week). Dells respons is to contimually replace the HDD curing the system in the short term, but not the problem. However, when they take a system away they do return it within 3 days. Just wish they could fix it.....
