Not for me. I never bought any of the dogs you mentioned. The XPS line is very well made and should last for a long time.
My last one was retired simply because it was outdated. That was the i600m. It was a great laptop. It was uses so much, the letters on the keys were fading.
My current one, the XPS M1330 seems to be even better made and better build quality than my old i600m. And the two I had before the i600m were also just as good.
Dell makes several different lines, and some of them, sure, are not as well made as the XPS line or some of their other lines.
But the main thing in this thread was that the OP wants a PC, not a Mac, and has her own reasons for wanting it. So, what's the point?
Anyway, thanks for playing along. Unfortunately, you've been eliminated from the game and won't be going on to the next round. Denise here has some nice parting gifts for you.

PS: I've decided to help you on your quest. I'm going to answer every thread from now on with some form of "you should buy a Mac". Well, at least until I get banned.
Thanks David, you have addressed my specifications (has to be a Dell, somewhat lightweight and a system for graphics) as well as budget.
Hubby is still using the 700m. That's the one I want to replace.
The letters start rubbing off for me quite early on all my keyboards. The Sony is already missing parts of four of them. I wonder if it has anything to do with hand lotion or maybe it's from eating and typing.
