First, congrats on your purchase!
You know me, have to throw in my 2 cents. I have had 2 Dell laptops. Will NOT have another. Bernie bought me both of them and neither last more than 13 months - 1 month after their warranty expired. And I was not going to pay the $ to fix it.
Bernie had a Gateway laptop that was abused and survived for over 5 years with no problems. The hinge that holds the screen actually broke and problems pursued from there. We ended up buying an inexpensive Acer from Best Buy because I'm sick of paying big bucks for laptops just to have them die on me.
My new philosophy, while not the best is, laptops are disposable.
As for the Vista v. XP debate. I hate Vista. None of our software will work. The patch didn't fix it. We ended up having to buy new software, printer, etc. We are looking at an Apple because it will run XP. Vista is nothing but a sham so we will have to spend money buying new sofware.
But that's just my 2 cents and I hope your Dell's are all you want them to be.
