[Gllug] Seeking some laptop advice

Do you mean I could ask nicely for an Inspiron 15 with no Microsoft  
stuff on it? Nice if so...

> You should be able to get a pair of the Dells for the price of one HP!

David has unfortunately remained rather non-committal regarding the  
question of laptop vs. netbook - but based on what he saw in PC World  
(even after I told him to ignore the price) he said that if paying  
"that much" (£400-500) he would prefer to have one with a number pad.

Any recommendations on such models? If not, I think I will go for the Dells.
