Howdy ya'll....
I'm sure that most of you are huge computer nuts, so here is a question that is going back and fourth between my friends:
Dell D610 or IBM T43.
Let the battle begin!
-
Don't you have a mac?
Anyways. I'd say the Dell (but the D610 wouldn't be my choice), I have a T42 for work and it's nice and thin but the IBM keyboard bugs me (and I'm petty like that) and it only has a 1024x768 screen (which bugs me more).
I'm still waiting a bit to replace my I8200 but haven't found a model I like better yet.

>>and it only has a 1024x768 screen
that would be enough to turn me away from any laptop. My Dell 600m runs at 1400x1050, anything less would be uncivilized (tm)
-
I'm not a huge fan of Dell laptops. I've seen more with problems than without. I'm not a huge fan of IBM either, but they'd be my choice out of the two. Have you looked into any Sony models?
-
I'm mainly looking for something thin and light (less than 5.5lbs, I'm a weekling), and something with great docking capabilities...I am going to go out and buy a nice 19" LCD setup to go along with it, so that is why I was looking at dell and ibm. Last I checked nothing else had docking..unless i'm on drugs.
-
Sony has docking stations, and I'm fairly certain Toshiba does as well.
-
I have an HP dv1000...I don't know how those two are.
-
I'm talking integrated docking, with a port on the back just for docking, not a USB type of dock....I know, picky picky.
-
Check out the Dell 700m. I just ordered one for my brother, and one of my friends has one that she loves.
-
Bbelieve it or not the Dell 700m is heavier than the D610. I think that is what I will go with, has a std. 3 year warantee on it. Coming from an Ex-Bestbuy Computer salesman, most of the stuff that goes wrong happens in the first year, but having that extra protection is a comfort thing. The D610 can also have a dedicated video card on it, and the higher res. screen. Thanks everyone!

My Toshiba has an integrated dock. and a 1600x1200 screen :)

>>I'm mainly looking for something thin and light
One word, TOSHIBA

I've got a Dell d810 for work. The resolution can go high enough that other people can't read the text, and I got a docking station. No complaints, except the docking station USB ports randomly crap out.
