Choosing a laptop

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

My first laptop - have been working with a Mac, a present, for few years
and now suffering from frustration syndrome!
My needs: ordinary word-processing / download music (often for two hours
or so) / burning CDs / mastering DVDs.
Dell's offers seem attractive. Are the systems reliable, and which model
should I look for? Any other comments welcome.

Many thanks in advance.
