Well, after my old IBM x31 kicked the bucket I bought a D410 for very cheap. However now that I gave that one to my brother (needed something light and portable) I may purchase another one. I am currently looking a portable laptop, around a 13″ display and pretty decent specs. After looking around on Dells site, I found the E4300. It has the power and the screen size I was looking for and it looks like a pretty decent machine. However like anything else, I did my research.

Well, as it turned out, people had issues with this laptop freezing. A nice long thread can testify to that. Also, here is nice article with comments.

I am going to keep on looking, but this looks promising now that the bugs are out of the system (hopefully).
