I have the Inspiron 9200 [1920x1200].

- The screen is huge, but a bit snowy for my taste. I am just being too picky.
- It is a heavy and big laptop, I would not think of carrying it around.
- The power supply is very big and takes a non-standard power cord that requires
  ground.
- The dell wifi drivers are flaky, but most of the time they will work in
  windows/xp if I choose the repair option. I have a NetBSD box libretto
  sitting next to the inspiron 9200 windows/xp box and the xp box keeps
  losing contact with the wireless, while the NetBSD box is solid.

I don't regret buying it. I knew of all the above before I got it,
and for the price you can't beat it.
