I'm offically buring my Dell laptop and get another one. I don't care if its a different model; I'm not happy with dell. They better issue a recall, or do something to stop this.

Why don't you just get a Mac? I figured that one out 20 years ago. Once I got over my "if it works so well, there must be something uncool about it" mentality, I was quite pleased. Indeed, ecstatic!

Unless, of course, you *enjoy* constantly messing around and tinkering with something that's supposed to work properly but never does. In that case, carry on! It's good practice for your business. There are a lot of suckers ... I mean, people out there who are still buying those inferior freakin' things, so you should have plenty of clients!

Just how much faster/more power-efficient are those Intel® Core™ Duo processors? Anyone ever tinker with or own one?

Ever since that came out, older Celeron-based laptops have significantly dropped in price.. as low as $399 (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7885014&type=product&id=1149040741607). Cheap! Still, even bare-bones models like that should suit most users' needs.

But if it weren't for PC's Adrian wouldn't have a business.
