And since the IBM i was talking about is past work laptop that I had to turn in when i moved on. My currect laptop is as follows
* Make = Dell
* Model = Latitude 100L
* Preinstalled Software = A bunch of school crap that I wiped off with a clean install.
* Preinstalled OS = Windows XP Professional
* Processor (upgradeable? sodered?) = Pentium 4 Mobile. Upgradeable as it is Socket 478 i believe. I Have thought about upgrading to a desktop processor.
* Speed = 2.8ghz on load or on battery. 1.6 when conserving battery and low load conditions
* Video (and MB of VRAM) = Video is the Intel Extreme Graphics series 855 with 64MB of onboard memory
* DVD/CDROM/CDRW = Sony DVD Combo drive 24x10x24x16
* Hard Drive = Installed with it was a Fujitsu 30Gb 4200 RPM slow drive. I installed a Hitachi 60GB 7200 RPM drive.
* Screen Size (image quality, resolution) = 14.7" 1024x768
* Weight/Size (fully loaded, bare bones) = Never weighed it.
* Age = Year and a 1/2
* Price (at time of purchase and what you would pay for it now) I Paid $1000 for in to be added to my tuition ($600 less then its MSRP). Now I would probably pay only $700 for it.
* Pros = Its my only laptop, its quick since i upgraded the hard drive and memory.
* Cons = No serial port or printer port. The serial port is more important to me as I use that for Cisco equipment at my current job still.
* Recommended? = I recommend it to ITT Tech students to add it to their tuition if thats the only method they can afford a laptop.
* Tech Support/ Warranty = 3year Dell Gold Service. All my tech support calls dont leave United States call centers.
* General Comments = 4200RPM drives are painfully slow, this is not a gaming laptop by anymeans but it will play UT99, Starcraft, Warcraft III, and Star Treck Starfleet Command III (those are just the games I have on it to pass time on slow nights at work or away) I had the option for a DVD Burner but I rarely Burn anything with my laptop as it as so that would have been a waste.
