I got myself a Dell Inspiron 600m about three years ago and would have
been cussing them out like crazy, except I got their extended service
warrantee, something I just about never get.  It's had some hardware
problems which made extending the warrantee cheap by comparison.  Their
service (farmed out, of course) has been great.  They come to my place
within two or three days of my reporting a hardware problem and I'm back
in business.  So unless you've got a second Linux machine to use when
your new laptop is down, I'd recommend spending a little more to get the
extended warrantee for the new laptop.
