In terms of reliability, our company tries to get everyone to buy Dell portables. They've had the least problems but nobody here is buying the base models. IBM's shine is gone. Nothing but trouble with several recent IBM laptops.

This is also the last month of Dell's first quarter. End of quarter is the best time to get deals. Trust me.
