I haven't been happy with Dell product offerings lately so started to look elsewhere.

I bought a Lenovo Thinkpad day after Christmas. I had hands on at Best Buy and was able to ask lots of questions. I was satisfied with the specs and happy to finally make a buying decision. One of my qualifications was to be able to download Virtual XP on a Win 7 Pro operating system. While I was assured it would work I did some online research before I opened the box and found the Intel Dual Core processor would not qualify. The Thinkpad was returned today, and now shopping for a laptop.

Most vendors are coming out with new models, Lenovo has several, so I am going to wait for awhile until I see all of the new stuff.

Just to follow up on my earlier post, I bought the Dell Studio 17 with 6GB RAM. So far, it has performed flawlessly. I'm currently streaming a stock quote program, a Netflix video and a MIRC chat, only using half the physical RAM. The display is top-notch, and the button layout very usable.

If it has any component faults in the future, I'll post here again.
