Dell XPS M1530 - I absolutely hate the fucking piece of shit network adapter. It's honestly the worst thing I've ever seen. Not only do I get 200k/s (note, kilobyte) wireless transfers on it, I also get sub 1mb/s wired transfers! Absolute chinese-made shit. The power cable is too short. The media buttons are absolute shit; you cannot hold them down to repeat the action. So if you want to turn the volume down, you gotta push the button again and again.

I really hate that laptop.

So much anger. I have the same one and I don't have that problem with the wireless/network adapters. I guess the volume thing is kinda annoying but I rarely use that anyway. I actually really like the laptop.

And I have the XPS M1330. I love it. Don't have those problems either.

What kind of laptop do you own and what you don't like in it?
The same. I use it as a desktop replacement so the heat is not an issue for me.

dell e1505. The wireless network card shuts itself off randomly. I usually have to restart my computer to get it to work.

i have 2 for work. have an inspiron 9300 that ive used for the past 3.5 years, and my new one that im slowly transitioning over to. dell precision m6300. both are pretty great so far. the inspiron was a great laptop, i specced it the same as the old xps gen 2. was top of the line when i got it, and still runs games i toss at it. the new precision is a t9300 cpu, 4gb ram and a mid range vid card. so far im liking it.

Asus eeePC 1000h. Tiniest decent sized keyboard netbook on the market. light, 6 hour realistic batterylife, easy to carry around, and fast enough for WC3.
