Hey Alan,

If you want a laptop that can stand up to soem abuse, check out Panasonic's line of "Tough Books".

The Dell's are also pretty solid and there warranty plan was great. I actually closed the lid of my Dell laptop and got a screw stuck inside and cracked the monitor. I called Dell on Thursday at 2:30 PM and they were in and out of my office by Friday Noon having installed a new monitor.

That being said, I just ordered a MACBook Pro 17", 3GB Memory & a 200 Gb Sata drive! These things rock, and feel much nicer / sturdier since they have metal cases. But man was it pricey!

Good Luck...
