I have a dell desktop and I had a dell inspiron laptop. I just gave the laptop to my sister who didn't have a computer.

I was given a blackberry to carry around.. I don't even need it.

Only thing I usually do is play around with Google Maps..

thats the one thing I LOVE about my laptop. the speedstep thing is turned on all the time (by me) so my fan never comes on when im just browsing the internet and such.

I have three, two of them I use regularly the third one I need a battery for.

If anyone that has a 12" screen based laptop they don't use and are thinking of selling, let me know. :)

I just use it so I do not have to get off my ass when I am watching a movie and I need to look something up in IMDB, or pr0n like the guy with his PDA.

I have one that I don't really need or use, though it is nice to have when school is in session because I can get a lot more work done... and a lot more procrastinating. I do fire up my laptop a few times a week to watch movies and things like that when I am exercising, but lately other than that its been off.

DELL Inspiron 5100.

Bought it back in 03 for $300 dollars.
15"@1024x768x32
Intel P4 2.4Ghz
512MB RAM
ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 32MB

CD-RW/DVD drive

Mostly use it as a backup to my desktop if something goes wrong and I have to use the internet or type up a report.
