Can anyone recommend a laptop for poker use?

Ta muchly.

Dell Inspiron with an WUXGA screen - 1920x1200 resolution.

15" version is the 6000, 17" version is the 9000 series.  Dell outlet store is a good place for a bargain.

Using a Dell Inspiron 9300 with the WUXGA screen, lovely.

Two questions, is it quiet, how long do the batteries last?

I heard someone asking that in the ann summers shop the other day.....


no I dont know why I was there either :)

Was that the 17in or the 19in

probably the 19in - the wider the better was the opinion of the sales-person....

17", very quiet, have yet to try it on batteries, using mains.

Had a Dell laptop and all I can say is that I will NEVER buy from Dell again.

Had issue after issue..overheating, cd drive malfunctioning for no apparant reason etc etc. They try to fix it all via emails and get the me to take apart the laptop. Eventually they sent an engineer only for the problems to arise again about a month later. Then they delayed replying to emails until my warranty had expired and informed me that I was no longer covered.

Ended up managing to sell it despite its problems on ebay and bought a Sony Vaio and can't recommend it highly enough. If you do decide to go with Dell research the model you are choosing because a number have problems. They tried to claim there wasn't a known problem with the laptop I bought despite thousands of people online complaining and even a computer magazine picking up on a design fault which caused the overheating. Rather than offer an alternative they simply replaced parts so that the laptop would just about continue working until the warranty expired.

My Dad is definitely a card carrying member of the Dell-haters club; His main issue with them was their shoddy support.

He had the misfortune to be buying a new Dell PC during the brief window when Windows Millennium was the OS; he experienced no end of problems with that computer, inexplicable crashes and so forth, but the main gripe was the fact that Dell Support was utterly useless, which made things so much more difficult.

They have improved unrecognisably since Millennium.

Thanks for all the input.

My current PC is a Dell as is my Dads, we've never had any problems but haven't needed to use thier support.

I think I'll go for the 9300 with WUXGA.

Customer support from hewlett packard is very, very good.  I would buy another laptop from them purely because of this.
