    In the last two - three weeks I ordered a Latitude D420. When it asked for the business name I just put in my name again. No problem. I wanted a very light weight notebook and wanted the track point. I actually think the price was a little more than buying an Inspiron model.

    I just did this as well, except I actually ordered through the medium/large business website, because they didn't have the configuration I wanted for the D420 (1.20 GHz processor, no biometer) on the small business side. I was worried because I placed the order on Thursday and didn't get a confirmation until yesterday, Tuesday. But apparently they are building it and shipping it out next week. It's so dumb that Dell tries to prevent consumers from buying this great laptop...
