Hubby's work all uses Dell, as well, and that's really what we'll very likely get for his laptop. My own, well, mine never takes nearly as much abuse, and in the 4 years we've had this one, we've never had to replace anything, or use the 3 year warrenty we bought.

As for hard drives, I have a 20gig, and have only used 12 gig's of it. As a side note, I remember 5 year ago when we upgraded our computer to a HUGE 2 gig hard drive, and thinking, what are we gonna do with it? Yeah, 4 months later, we were more like, when can we get more?
