The laptop is lightning fast.

Got the exact same setup as you ski, had it about 3 mos now. I love it except for the keyboard. They have replaced it 3 times, as it keeps poping keys off the keyboard and I make them replace it each time it pops a key on the 3rd keyboard now.

Nice. I keep "teetering" on the issue of buying a laptop - Dell stuffs those catalogs in my mailbox every couple of weeks to keep me on edge. At work we've got Latitudes (attitudes/platitudes...?) which are a notch above functional. At least we rid ourselves of IBM laptops (sorry in advance to IBM fans).

This is simply the best laptop I have ever used. It is faster than my fastest desktop! The keyboard is close to perfect. The battery life is close to amazing.

Right now I would recommend it to anyone wanting a small footprint laptop.

careful Ski, you don't want to jinx it!

It's easy after 3 days to love it - it's a year from now that'll really tell the story.

But glad you're loving it so far! It's so nice to get a new machine biggrin.gif
