Everyone I know with Dell's has had to get them serviced, even people I know who leave them > on their desks 90% of the time. This doesn't bode well for me then, as I am just going on year 3 of my Dell Laptop which has quite literally been around the world several times, as well as a huge amount of domestic travel. I used to dual FreeBSD and Windoze, but have been exclusively BSD for almost a year. Sound, wireless, ethernet, APM, video, ports, etc all work great. The only "real" problem I have encountered is my docking station, which has been a pain in the ass to configure docked/undocked in X. Also, the battery no longer holds a suitable charge after docking with the batter still engaged. I dont know if other brands of laptops and their respective means of docking have the same issues or not, but it is worth considering.
