    Ok, looking for a cheap laptop. I use my laptops at home, work, and sometimes at various other locations.... I'm not hardcore as it seems lots of you are, just looking for quality that works. The Latitude D520 has my interest as I've read it's build is sturider than some consumer grade machines. I'm not expecting something as tough as a toughbook or itronix, but being able to last would come in handy. I curently use a 15" gateway, so I would be ok with sticking to a non widescreen.
