Never owned one....will be used for both digital still evidence storage, display of pics for supervisors, DA and review in the field, court room presentations...yada yada.....
Wireless capability, long lived battery life...etc.... I CAN use it for personal use so other bells and whistles like DVD/CD Burner...... Dell quoted 3800....my budget is 2500.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif) Don't want to have to come out of pocket...much.... |

I'm in the tech field also, Dell's....high failure rate, HP's (ex Compaq's) burn through batteries like you can't believe.....IBM Thinkpads are the best!
