    Yeah long time ago I bought IBM Thinkpad R30 and later Compaq presario M2000. I like ThinkPad its rugged and rough use. Unfortunately Compaq has drop dead after 2 years some power issue. Very bulky indeed, So time for buy a new laptop.

    So I bought Dell VOSTRO from UK refurbished shop via ebay, with in 5 working days laptop is with me. It cost me € 546 including shipping with DHL.

    Great solid small laptop at last. I have installed Visual Studio Professional 2008, SQL Server Express 2008, MSDN 2008, Yahoo IM, MSN IM and XP service pack 3. Still I have 120 GB left. Thats ample I guess for the time being. All these resource hungry apps are working fine in terms of loading, building projects, solutions is quite good.

    Pros
    • Quick boot
    • Light weight( 2.02kg)
    • Good battery (3 hours+)

    Cons
    • Mono speaker

    I would say Lattitude capabilities with Inspiron skin.

    Loving it and total satisfaction !!
