I find it interesting that people get all religious on what CPU is
better ... I challenge anyone who has strong feelings on one brand cpu
over the other to be able to tell the difference (without looking under
the hood).

FWIW: I got a Dell Latitude D630 with XP and I'm fairly pleased with it.
 I'm not super happy with the display dimensions, but I don't like a
wide screen.
