Hello all...
I'm looking to buy a new notebook computer as my beloved old Compaq LTE is
finally beginning to have some odd problems. (Not that I could blame it
after all of these years!) After much shopping around, I have found the Dell
Latitude D800 to be a notebook computer that has just about all the features
I desire. Add that to the fact that Dell is presently willing to drop $350
off of the price tag, and I think it's a pretty good deal...though I do need
to see what they will do on financing...
Does anyone here on this group have this model? Have you been happy with it?
Specifically, how is the performance and battery life? Will the machine take
a different operating system and remain completely functional/function
properly? (I'm looking towards running Windows 2000 Pro or maybe even a
Linux of some kind on this machine...I don't like WinXP and try to avoid
it.)
Thanks!
William
