    Was it a good Purchase?

    I have a new drafting business and need the mobility of taking my software with me to clients offices and plugging in, and the ability to work at home as well.

    I know enough about computers and new technology to be dangerous.

    My purchase was somewhat impetuous, I was on the Dell Web site and by golly they make it so easy, the next thing I knew I baught my new Note book. [ :D]

    anyway I am hoping that I made the right choice!.

    any good news about my recent purchase would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks again

    As far as bang for the buck goes you made a good purchase! The screen on the Inspiron 8600 is very nice and it's a great desktop replacement -- but can of course still be picked up and carried to your clients office.

    Anyway, I hope you enjoy the new Inspiron when you get it and I'm sure you won't regret the purchase if it fills a need for your business.
