Warranty ... when it comes to notebooks you want to ensure that you are able to easily access the warranty if needs be and preferrably access it locally.

I am also a stickler when it comes to buying brands of notebooks. I believe that it's better to buy a brand name notebook because you have a better chance of getting accessories and repair parts (after warranty) if required.

Other than what chris said above that's a sweet box dude. It would have been sweeter is an Athlon MP chip was inside.

I cah believe seh u switching to the dark side though nas.

Pros:

Powerful Processor (Desktop Replacement)
Loads of memory
Generous Hard Drive space
Great video card
DVD+RW

Cons:

Limited mobility due to poor battery life
Limited ventilation
Desktop CPU
SIS 648FX Chipset is weaker than the competition

Overall this is a good notebook computer. I personally prefer a notebook to be thin, light and have 5hrs+ battery life so a Centrino based system would be my first choice. However, if a desktop replacement is what you're after, you have a very beautiful and powerful computer here.

For a laptop I advise you to stay with ATI or Nvidia video chipsets.

The perfomance is better.

You may also want to ensure its Linux friendly.

Like IBM, HP TOSHIBA and SONY

Dells suck for linux friendly.

While I agree with some of your choices, I still think that Dell sell reliable laptops with excellent warranty.

Haahhaaha.....You too awful.

I am currently using A compaq evo n410c. This specs ain't that lavish but it is stable and performs well.

Haven't run linux on it yet. I am thinking Red Hat or the power of Yast -> SuSE
