Dell inspiron 5100
The dell inspiron 5100 is a great  for those buying their first notebook. there are 4 things i like about this notebook. the battery life, the price and the customer support. The 5100 is priced at $999 comes backed with goodies such as a 15 inch TFT active matrix display   and backs 3 hours of battery life. the downside is that  The only seriouse drawback that i found is its weight. 7.2lb. thats the same weight of 2 quantum physics books. the thing that strikes me also is the nice cool blue casing, and the array of ports to play with. I give this baby 1st place in the notbook showdown
