Broke in to the H2

[mikejr]

Hi Alan,

We're sold on Dell equipment. BUT I will qualify that in as much as their low end cheap stuff just doesnt perform up to our standards. I bought a few cheap workstations in the past and also a cheap laptop and they just werent fast enough for what we do.

Their mid level and high end stuff kicks butt. I would recommend the mid to upper level Inspirons and would expect to pay around $2K for a good unit. I am using a Dell XPSM1710 laptop which i just got about 4 months ago....it is the Ferrari of laptops....it screams....but i dropped $4K on it...but then again i am working on the laptop 12 hours a day.

I know that some companys make a "mil spec" laptop. I know that hummerstuff.com has a rough duty laptop but i dont know anything about the machine other than they seem very pricey and fairly low end on the performance end of the spectrum.

PM me if you have any other questions...we're a very hi tech oriented real estate company and i know a fair amount about the tech end of things.

I only buy Dell Inspirons. But they don't last if you drop em! Sorry about the break in. Mine was broke into a week after I got it. There's places I don't take it. Thats the only thing I hate about the hummer. You can't thke it, park it, or leave it any where you want. You can only drive it any where you want.

They popped my lock 2 weeks ago in bright daylight....I was watching a early 2pm hockey game...so when i heard the aftermarket alarm go off i thought it wasnt mine until i heard my s-way remote go crazy ...i looked outside it was too late the guy was gone....

Aftermarket alarm is the best way to go to keep those bastards out...and maybe even disconnect key lock.

www.compustar.org thats the alarm i use...has amazing 2-way range the best on market. Compustar Pro P2W9000FMR

We always get the Dell warranty that covers anything and everything from drops to spilling beer on them.

I think you might have a good idea right thar. Just cut the little metal rod from the key cylinder - I have NEVER used the key on that side anyway.

when you speak of "popping" the lock. What does this mean? Is there an inherent weakness in the handles of the H2? If i recall correctly, arent the handles on the H2 the same as the ones used on the GM products like the Avalanche and the Silverados?
