Pros:

Excellent build quality — very solid feel with nice keyboard
Very fast & responsive system
Decent SXGA screen
4 USB ports

Cons:

Terrible audio through the headphone jack — noticeable hiss
Fan is always on
Slight electrical buzz with attached USB devices
Physical switch for wireless would have been nice
A little thicker than comparable notebooks

Seems like a good buy too, not overly expensive either. Thanks for the feedback. :)

The thing is almost bullet proof. I also have a cool Docking station/Monitor stand where I plug the laptop in, and the Docking station/Monitor stand is already hooked up to all the other devices like the monitor, mouse, keyboard, etc. I've grown to love everything about it. Everyone in the office has a setup like this. No one has ever had a problem that I'm aware of. If I could have any laptop I wanted, I would likely stick with Dell & get the docking station.
