from my experience at work I will never buy a DELL laptop for personal use. All the desktop and workstations we have from them have been great... but pretty much every single laptop we have had (over the course of 6 or so years) have had serious hardware issues. We switched over (for laptops only) to IBM and have been seeing much better results over the past year (and most of the DELL units suffered from problems within the first year, usually keyboards and the video flex cable going bad).
