Dell Inspiron 5000e

I have had a number of laptops including a Sony Vaio, and a Toshiba. Both the Sony & the Tosh were a much flashier package than the Dell, but for pure out and out day in, day out performance & reliability, the Dell takes some beating. I work for a software company, and spend my time working from home, or meeting clients to demonstrate our software. My Dell gets lugged the length and breadth of the country, and has managed to succeed where others have failed. Spec wise, it's getting on a little now - it is a 1999 model, Pentium III 750mhz, 128MB RAM, 6 GB disk, DVD-ROM.
