Anyone have any experience with this laptop? Quality wise, how does it compare to a Thinkpad T23?

Don't you have to pay tax too?

Dell makes some fine labtops in terms of performance. The tech and costomer support is good my opinion.
However, if you browse the internet, you will notice that Dell makes some crappy cases. I will state for the record that this is fully true. I am a ownero of a Dell Inspiron 8100 and damn the case sucks. Cheap plastic like what. I swear I could break this bad boy with my hands!

Thanks for the info.

UofI, do you own an 8100? Or just speaking from the way it looks?

I think he's refering to the build quality of the laptop.

I've taken a look at some reviews on Cnet and Epinions, and the most glaring problem seems to be the case - it does not match the quality of a Thinkpad.

IBM does make better built (stronger) lappies but you also pay for them so it depends on what you want.

Dell's cases appear to be of cheap plastic but the reliability is still strong. I own an 8100 (same chassis as the 8200) and while the plastic looks and feels cheap it's taken a lot of abuse. Dell has more or less leveraged the same chassis for years and they've garnered solid reliability scores. I've had mine dropped twice from about 6' high with nary a scratch - this is great considering that this is a heavy laptop with all the equipment in it.

So basically, you may not like the feel of it initially, but 4 years down the line you'll be glad you made the decision.

I think that casing on dell notebooks is absolutely worse in the whole industry.Its cheap plastic,its very thick and it makes "empty plastic" noise when you tap on it....BEST EVER EVER Notebook by any mean is HP OMNIBOOK 6100.

Compaq has nice metal cases but it is heavy
