The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    I am a law student who do a lot of downloading reading materials from the web, wordprocessing, and printing reports. I currently use a Dell Inspiron 8600. Is there a better laptop for my statede activites?[ :)]

    Depending on the configuration, the 8600 is arguably the most feature packed notebook out there. The only thing Dell doesn't offer is a 17" screen. All of these features come at a price though, and that price is weight. I have an 8200 (waiting on a Fujitsu P5020D) at the moment and it's quite heavy, making it problematic at times.
