    Hi all, I'm thinking of buying an R835 to replace my Dell Latitude E6400. Has anyone here previously owned a Latitude and if so, how does the Portege (can include R700 here for comparison as it's almost the same) compare with the Latitudes for build quality?

    Fit & finish are top of my wish list. I can not tolerate squeaky panels, flimsy plastics or finger print magnets.

    Am also looking at HP Probook 4330, Vaio S13 and Dell Vostro V130 (although I've almost discounted that now as it has a stupid CULV processor).

    Thoughts please?
