    How good is the 128 meg vid card in the latitude 800?

    Also how is the build quality of the 800...is any of it alloy, or all plastic..

    I have gone and come full circle...back to dell for their warranty..

    ibm..good but no 755, and not as good a warranty, tho a good laptop..

    prostar, sagar and so on..the only thing holding me back from these is that there is a 15 day refund policy or however long, BUT a restocking fee...PLUS they have a pixel policy that is based on industry standard. I can't live with that,...if I pay that much money for a laptop, then I want NO dead pixels...and were I to buy one and it had a couple and I wanted to return it for a refund, a restocking fee...I got news for these guys that sell those laptops, that is NOT full satisfaction guarantee. Dell, Ibm and so on refund your entire money...That IS full satisfaction guarantee....so much as i like the companies themselves that sell those laptops and they ARE great companies, I can't see a restocking fee and not having a NO DEAD PIXEL policy like Fuji.

    Acer...heard some bad about them...and they really don't have the combination i want.

    Fujitsu...would go with them in a heartbeat, but video cards only 64 megs, no 755, and the p4 is a prescott....give me the 755 and 128 meg vid card and I would buy fujitsu in a minute.

    Asus....naah..

    And the only thing keeping me from buying the dell right now is unsure about the video card, as it is an older one...I have a 5900 series in my desktop...and waiting for that 20 percent coupon again...

    What a task this is..t
