You're better off getting a Mac... or at least an HP.

Dell Inspiron E1405 Laptop —
I am sorry that I purchased this laptop. I needed a new computer for graduate school (had never owned a laptop before), and the only reason I didn't purchase a Mac was because my school's website strongly recommended students purchase PCs. It turned out it's not really a problem to have a Mac. The computer runs extremely slowly, whether opening Word or My Computer. Whenever I call Dell about an unrelated problem, they ask me if my laptop is running slowly and if I'd like to purchase more memory for $75. What I'd like is for the laptop to run well without having to purchase additional memory. They should have included more memory on their computers if they knew Vista would run slowly. I've also had to have the keyboard replaced at my expense. My boyfriend has an HP laptop that has a built in microphone and webcame (the Dell Inspiron E1405 has neither), and when he opens up the computer after it has gone to sleep, it works right away. My Dell on the other hand, takes almost 30 seconds to recover from going into sleep mode. In summary, take your money elsewhere. I would never buy a Dell again.
